Jyran at Sofitel Mumbai BKC is presenting 'Chillies of India', a culinary experience celebrating the diversity of Indian chillies and their influence on regional cuisines. Running from October 12 to 25, 2026, the showcase explores the distinctive aromas, colours and heat levels of indigenous chilli varieties through traditional cooking techniques and regional preparations.

Led by Chef Qureshi, the specially curated menu takes diners on a culinary journey across India, bringing together kebabs, tandoor grills, coastal specialities, rice preparations, breads, chutneys, pickles and desserts. The experience places chillies at the centre of the menu, highlighting their role in shaping the flavour and identity of regional dishes.

Beyond their heat, Indian chillies contribute distinct characteristics to food, influencing aroma, colour, texture and overall flavour. Through this showcase, Jyran explores how different varieties complement regional ingredients and cooking methods, from the smoky flavours of tandoor preparations to the vibrant profiles of coastal cuisine.

The menu draws on India's diverse culinary traditions, demonstrating how chilli varieties can transform familiar dishes while retaining the character of their regional origins. Traditional preparations and indigenous ingredients are presented within Jyran's contemporary dining setting, offering guests an opportunity to explore the country's culinary heritage through a single ingredient.

With 'Chillies of India', Jyran continues to highlight regional Indian flavours through curated dining experiences, inviting guests to discover the many ways chillies influence the country's food traditions.
