Stalls are set up by vendors from different states like Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan, West Bengal and Delhi. For the first time, Sikkim also showed interest in the food festival.
“We got thuppa (noodle soup) for the first day and we are sold out. The next two days, we will offer momos to people in Delhi. The exposure is very good. We will participate again,” said Rinjong Lepcha. Accompanied by her friend Lakei Lepcha, they want to start food business from their home in Sikkim.
If it was the first time for Sikkim vendors, for Chelumma and her family from Karnataka it was their second stint.
