Emirates has introduced a new range of in-flight meals for Indian passengers.
The Dubai-based airline has introduced new menus on flights to all 10 of its destinations in India, which it says will “reflect regional tastes and customer preferences”.
For example, customers on the Kolkata route will now be offered the local mustard fish curry, sarson maach, while passengers flying to and from Ahmedabad will be served turiya vatana muthia – a dumpling made from ridge gourd and green peas. Those flying to Kerala will be offered meen mulaku curry, while dhabe da gosht will be available on Delhi flights.
Other new additions to the airline’s Indian menus include a range of chutneys and pickles, more vegetarian options and individually-packed flat breads.
“India has a rich cultural diversity that is reflected in its culinary profile, with flavours and ingredients that vary dramatically as you move across regions,” said Robin Padgett, Emirates’ senior vice president of aircraft catering.
“Our new tailor-made menus were created to suit the palates of our Indian customers, and will also give visiting travellers an authentic taste of some of India’s most popular regional dishes.”
As well as the new meal options, Emirates’ Indian passengers will be able to watch more than 100 movies in eight Indian languages, as well as dedicated Indian TV channels for Bollywood pop videos, comedy and drama, and audio channels featuring Indian music.
