Remembering the forgotten food

          In this food-obsessed world, we all need a detox from time to time. Millets, often known as the poor man's rice, is making its presence felt in the mainstream cuisines and how!
I have heard many culinary fables from my mother, who grew up in a village and was fortunate to have experienced, first-hand, not just healthy food, but healthy way of cooking, a healthy way of life...Now that we are rediscovering healthier alternatives to refined stuff, it's indeed a welcome break to have a place like The Green Path Organic Multi-cuisine restaurant in the city.
Located on SC Road, diagonally opposite the Mantri Mall in Malleswaram, the building is quite easy to spot, and has decent car-parking space. (Heads-up, reach there early, for the parking gets filled up pretty quick).
There are 3 levels, ground floor houses the welcome area, a decently-stocked Organic goods shop and a mini cafeteria. The first level has a mini hall and the second floor has the restaurant split into 2 parts - one serves buffet meals, the other catering to a-la carte(or so it seemed).
The lunch buffet that we went to was quite a sumptuous spread. Starting with the millets Pizza and moving on to the buffet offerings with the traditional and healthy Nachinunde, Akki roti, Navane (Foxtail millet)Bisibele Bath, wheat dosa and much much more and last but not the least, the Oh so tempting Dessert platter, one felt like a kid in a toy-shop!!
You are allowed to indulge because it's all healthy!!
