Chennai to host banana festival

In the deserted Island Grounds of Chennai, people will soon be tasting varieties of banana deserts during a two-day banana festival organised by Tamil Nadu Tourism Development (TTDC) on July 25 and 26.The festival to be conducted on weekend would have about 25 varieties of bananas on display in more than 40 stalls spread across in the sprawling 10, 000 sq ft premises. Though one may be familiar with Karpooram, Rasthali, Pachai and Poovan bananas, the urban population might have not heard about the mouth-watering Mondhan, Kumanan and Peyan, which you cannot afford to miss.Besides, the festival will have stalls, where students from catering colleges would be demonstrating delicious dishes prepared using bananas such as chips, salad, vada and so on.“The entry has been made free to visitors to witness and enjoy this visual treat,” he noted.
