across the world raised 7.3 lakhs for our supporting charities through the
annual Independence Day Dawaat. So get your flags out, paint
the city in tri-colours, and swing by The Bombay Canteen to celebrate all
things Indian, this Independence Day, with good food for a good cause at our 4th
(Annual) Independence Day Daawat! Lets celebrate the joy of
being Indian and participate on August 15, 2018, only for lunch from 11:30 am

The Bombay Canteen is taking its turn in making miracles happen for
these little bacchas. And with all
the love and support we’ve gotten from you, we are sure that hum honge kamyab!
On the menu this year, a sumptuous meal of regional delicacies
put together by Chef-Partner Thomas Zacharias and his team all served on a
banana leaf in a community style dining experience. This includes Kerela Kaya Ularthiyathu, Goan Kokum Dal and
Bombay Maska Pav. But the extra special touch is the regional specialties
from the homes and kitchens of some of guests who have been our constant
cheerleaders, reflecting the culinary diversity of our country. Fashion designers
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla share a recipe from the Bohri community (Junglee Kheema) while celebrity chef and
champion of regional Indian food - Chef Manish Mehrotra gives us one of his
family recipe from UP (Sattu Kachori)
and stand up comedian Rohan Joshi sends some love and laughter with a recipe
for a dish from Gujarat (Vatana Muthai
Shaak), while industrialist Harsh Goenka offers a Rajasthani recipe from
his home kitchen (Shahi Khichdi) and
Anirban Blah shares a Meghalayan dish (Khasi
Black Sesame Chicken). All this and more with a selection of unusual
chutneys and accompaniments served up with chilled Aam Panna from UP and delicious Lonavla Chocolate Fudge with Peanut Chikki and Tri Colour Barfi to
round off the meal.
And since this lunch is also about celebrating freedom, we
encourage you to pay what you like at the end of your meal. Remember,
everything you donate, goes to the Miracle Foundation India for the incredible
work they do. The children gave us their wish list and we are sharing it with
you - from world maps to globes, science kits to sports equipment, nutritional
meals to clothing. So let’s play
genie and make those wishes come true. And if you can’t make it
for the good food, you can contribute to the good cause online by visiting. https://www.ketto.org/fundraiser/tbc18

About Our Cause: Miracle Foundation India is a
non-profit organization that brings life-changing care to the children without
homes. Our mission is simple. Miracle Foundation India stands for group homes
for children and helps them thrive in real time. We've created a measurable,
repeatable and systematic method to ensure that children are educated, fed,
loved and safe. At the same time, we explore every avenue to reunite them with
their parents or relatives, when possible.
Our method:
- Ensures organizations meet the
12 Rights of the Child and rise to international standards
- Guides leaders to resettle
children with a caring, responsible relative or family—and help them stay
together
- Transitions children’s homes into
Centers for Excellence where children thrive instead of reside
Started in 2011, the organization is dedicated to empowering
orphans to reach their full potential. Today, we support thousands of children
without parents, from the hinterlands of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,
Telangana, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh to the far-flung areas of Tripura. Our
goal is for every child to live in a loving family; to become a healthy, happy,
income-producing person—and experience a true sense of belonging.
