Mangaluru: A two-day chocolate festival will be organised by Nitte Institute of Communication (NICO) on March 30 and 31 at the city’s Forum Fiza Mall here.
The second edition of the festival ‘NICO’s Chocolate Street’ is part of an initiative to bring together the home bakers, and other entrepreneurs who specialise in chocolates in the city of Mangaluru and surrounding areas, and provide them with a platform to showcase their chocolate based products. The one-of-its-kind festival in the city is annually organised by the final year students of NICO.
“The city of Mangaluru has long possessed a sweet tooth, including the presence of home-grown ice cream brands such as Ideal, and Hangyo; and the cocoa cooperative Campco. A chocolate festival in Mangaluru is therefore an ideal platform to bring together upcoming entrepreneurs who can dazzle the denizens of the city with a wide assortment of chocolate items. The products on display and sale will range from a wide variety of home-made chocolates, pastries, cupcakes, cookies, shakes, and even chocolate based lip-balms and moisturizers” a press release from NICO informed.
20 home bakers and entrepreneurs will present their chocolate products during the festival.
Chef Thirugnanasambantham K, Principal of Welcome group Graduate School of Hotel Administration (WGSHA), run by Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) will inaugurate the event on Saturday 11. am.
Manish B, a junior chef at the Lalit Bekal, will also be a part of the event and will conduct classes on baking chocolate dishes on Sunday 4.pm at the atrium of Forum Fiza Mall. The entry to his class sessions will be free and open for all where the chef will also have an interactive session with the audience.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
