Bihar’s most recognisable snacks sattu, makhana to be served at Brics Summit

Inside the goodie bag presented to journalists and delegates attending the upcoming 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, attendees find a curated collection of regional Indian products and essentials. Sourced from various parts of the country, the nine-item hamper showcases the diverse culinary and cultural landscape of India.

Highlights include sattu and makhana, popular snacks from Bihar, showcasing the protein-rich, roasted gram snack and the crunchy lotus seeds, respectively. Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the 100% Arabica specialty coffee sourced from the tribal hills of Odisha, offering a distinct regional taste.

To add a touch of Indian craftsmanship, a block-printed stole from Gujarat is included, providing a cultural and textile element to the collection. The practical aspect of the bag is further enhanced with an in-built charging port, allowing attendees to conveniently charge their devices while on the go. This thoughtful inclusion proves especially beneficial for journalists covering the summit for extended periods.
