Chef Manish Mehrotra’s Unique Lay’s Honey Chilli Dish Delights Nehru Place

The bustling streets of Nehru Place were filled with excitement today as Chef Manish Mehrotra, one of India's most celebrated culinary artists, showcased his unique take on a Lay’s dish. He took over the WaysToLays Food Truck, where he crafted his signature Honey Chilli Chutney Lay’s, garnished with sesame and green onions. This innovative dish is part of Lay’s bold attempt to reimagine its classic chips, offering an exciting way for snack lovers to enjoy the familiar crunch of Lay’s chips in a whole new way.

The WaysToLays initiative, launched earlier this year by PepsiCo, brings Lay’s chips beyond the typical snack experience by introducing them into locally-inspired recipes. This move aims to transform Lay’s chips from a simple snack into a culinary creation. The food truck concept is a part of this larger effort, offering creative dishes that feature Lay’s chips in unexpected ways. The menu includes crispy toppings, flavorful bases, and surprising twists, providing food enthusiasts with a new way to enjoy their favorite snack.

At Nehru Place, Chef Mehrotra wowed the crowd with his inventive recipe, encouraging people to think outside the box when it comes to snack time. The Honey Chilli Chutney Lay’s dish quickly became a crowd favorite, blending the crispiness of Lay’s with the bold flavors of honey and chilli, complemented by a touch of sesame and green onions. This was just one example of how Lay’s is pushing boundaries in the food world, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences.

The WaysToLays Food Truck has already made stops at popular locations like Hudson Lake, GBT Nagar, and Satya Niketan Market in Delhi. The food truck offers other exciting dishes like Lay’s Chaat, Lay’s Loaded Chips, and even Lay’s Chocolate Chips, offering creative twists on traditional snacks. After Nehru Place, the food truck will continue its journey to Gurgaon’s Sector 56 Market on 29th and 30th December, promising even more innovative and flavorful dishes for food lovers to explore.

Saumya Rathor, the Marketing Director of PepsiCo India, commented on the success of the WaysToLays Food Truck, saying, “At Lay’s, we’re inspired by the deep love people have for our chips and the creative ways they use them in their favorite recipes. Their passion has motivated us to take this to the next level. With our first-ever WaysToLays food truck, we’re not just serving chips — we’re creating moments that bring people together, spreading smiles, and sparking joy across Delhi.”

The WaysToLays Food Truck initiative reflects PepsiCo’s commitment to creating memorable experiences and bringing people closer through food. As the truck continues its journey, Lay’s aims to spread joy, engage even more food lovers, and celebrate the unique ways people enjoy their chips.
