Savoury delights from southern India — idli, vada, sambar and chutney — are back on high tea menu at the Vice-President’s residence. On Tuesday, Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan held his first official interaction with the floor leaders of Rajya Sabha at his residence. The guests were served south Indian dishes along with north Indian snacks during high tea. South Indian dishes used to be the highlight of the menu served during events hosted by former V-P M Venkaiah Naidu. Naidu’s successor Jagdeep Dhankhar, who hailed from Rajasthan, treated his guests to mostly north Indian spreads during his term. Now house staff of Radhakrishnan, who hails from Coimbatore, have ensured a delightful mix of north and south Indian snacks for the guests.
