About Time: You Discovered House of Holi at Cinnamon KitchenBy Angelica Malin
Back for its fourth year running, #HouseofHOLI makes its return to Cinnamon Kitchen in Devonshire Square from Monday 26th February – Saturday 10th March. Leave the drab and dreary City at the door, don your protective white suit and step into the madness at the House of HOLI for thirty minutes of paint-pelting friends, family and colleagues to mark the Indian festival of colour.
House of Holi: The Lowdown
Sitting amongst the skyscrapers of London’s financial district, Cinnamon Kitchen will bring a vivacious dose of colour to the urban environs of the Square Mile with the return of its purpose-built party pod popping up outside of Vivek Singh’s modern-Indian restaurant.
Holi itself officially takes place on 1st March, announcing the arrival of spring and passing of winter. Infamously known for its free-for-all carnival of colours and iconic paint fights, HOLI brings together family and friends to laugh and play, forgive and forget and to celebrate love and friendship. The only rule about Holi is that there are none, so let your hair down, grab some paint and have fun.
House of Holi: The Menu
No Indian celebration would be complete without a feast of dishes and Cinnamon Kitchen will be serving up a spirited five-course #HouseofHOLI menu to enjoy after a round of paint-throwing. Priced at £35 per person (Monday – Friday, including a Play Holi session), dishes include:
Golguppa – tangy potato in semolina shell, yoghurt and tamarind
Chicken Papdi Chaat – tandoori chicken chaat on wheat crisp with coriander chutney
Lamb Shammi Kebab – tender ground lamb kebab with smoked paprika raita
Carrot and Ginger Meetha – carrot and ginger toffee pudding with caramel sauce
