Dark Mofo, a renowned mid-winter festival of Tasmania, is back, and Indian chef Niyati Rao will be representing the nation at the festival. The festival is celebrated from June 5 to 15. Rao, the head chef partner at Nisa Experience and creative force behind restaurant Ekaa, said, “ It was an honour when we were invited to represent India at the Dark Mofo festival. I wholeheartedly believe this representation is essential so people on a global scale can experience the beauty of Indian ingredients. Each year, Dark Mofo delves into centuries-old rituals to explore the links between ancient and contemporary mythology, humans and nature, religious and secular traditions, darkness and light, and birth, death and renewal. What this festival also entails is that it’s about a lot of art mingling with culinary science and music as well, and all of those merge beautifully together with the ancient rituals of the winter feast that we will be cooking for.” She will be cooking dishes like marmoris and apricus at the festival.
