Who will be the chef?
The G20 summit food menu is decided by Chef Arun Sundararaj, director of culinary operations, at the Taj Mahal, New Delhi. “The value of millets was known by us [Indians] long ago, now we want to introduce the same to the delegates. It’s full of nutrition and can be used in diverse ways," he told ANI.

Millets theme
"It’s full of nutrition and can be used in diverse ways. We’ll use many varieties like Jowar, Ragi, Foxtail and Sorghum. We’ll add some panache to Bajra, too. It will have a Rajasthani touch with garlic flavours, and we’ll sprinkle some saag (leafy greens) on top, to bring two different flavours together,” Sundararaj said.

Both national and international food
He further said, “We’ll have Ragi dosa, which will have a texture like that of rawa dosa, but with a different flavour – to add a millet-ness to the dish. We’ll experiment with international cuisine too: instead of using buckwheat flour for pancakes, we’ll use ragi to add a unique texture.”
