32 chefs to 1000 kg spices, this is how Taj is preparing for PM Modi's Davos visit | FULL COVERAGE

The Taj Group has been roped in to prepare Indian cuisine for PM Narendra Modi and other leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

A team of 32 chefs will be focusing mainly on Indian cuisine which will be served at three different venues.

Raghu Deora, the logistical head for this entire mission, told ANI, "I have been told that he likes anything and everything vegetarian. It will be like 'Ghar ka Swad Davos mein" on serving to Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

Deora also added that it is difficult to prepare Indian cuisine without the use of Indian spices. Since, the spices in Davos are quite different, special arrangements have been made for the same.

"We are a team of 32 chefs and managers catering to India Adda, AP lounge and India Reception for about 12,000 people, we also have a special dinner at Inter Continental. Prime Minister Modi will be having our food at 3 different venues. There is much bigger India presence in Davos," he told ANI.

Almost 1000 kg of spices have been sent to Davos from India, some hand-carried, some couriered.

Raghu Deora, Nitin Mathur (executive chef Taj Krishna, Hyderabad) and Neville Pimento (Resident manager at Taj Lands End, Mumbai), will be leading the team of chefs at different venues.

On the opening day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will deliver a keynote address at the World Economic Forum.

PM Modi will also hold bilateral talks with President of Swiss Confederation, Alain Berset. He will also be holding a series of meetings with business leaders and addressing the international business council at the meeting.

The four-day event's main aim is to create a shared future in a fractured world.
