SIGNATURE MORNING ITC HOTELS & RESORTS ITC Hotels has introduced Signature Mornings, which aims to bring breakfast back to its pride-of-place in a person’s day. By presenting superfoods in a contemporary way, emphasis is put on responsible sourcing and bringing back lost grains, each signature dish has been created bearing in mind a ‘caringly sourced’ and ‘mindfully prepared’ approach, showcasing locally sourced, free-range, Indian superfoods, forgotten ancient grains, ‘good for you’ breads with increased focus on gluten free and lactose free breakfast options. One of the most popular choices is a 42 ILHA new take on Eggs Benedict, prepared with free-range eggs and extra virgin olive oil hollandaise, served with locally-sourced Birchwood Smoked Chicken Rashers, instead of bacon. The menu changes regularly so that an assortment of ‘breakfasts of the world’ can be showcased, and the ‘indigenous signatures’ are constantly refined. Other Signature Morning dishes include: • Assorted Platter with a Wheatgrass and Mint Shot • Sugar-free Muffins • Multigrain Dosa made with Flaxseed, Sunflower seed, cracked soya, whole wheat broken and oats • Multigrain croissants • Muesli and Berry Brulée, with Amaranth (an Indian grain also referred to as Rajdana, gluten free and high in protein and iron) • Jaggery Brittle Finger Millet (Ragi) • Almond-meal pancakes with Aloe Vera and Black Currant Chutney • Seven Grain Porridge • Flaxseed yogurt muesli
