Frequent fliers who miss the sumptuous Bengali cuisine during the Duga Pujas will now have their dreams fulfilled. A Bengali feast in the sky is now a reality for them.
State-owned Air India is all set to offer a quintessential spread of cuisines from Bengal in all domestic flights and in some international ones during the Puja days. The cuisine will be introduced for three days starting Saptami (October 3).
Traditional Bengali delicacies such as Mangsher Kofta Curry (minced meatballs), macher korma (fish curry), deserts including the all favourite Misti Doi (sweetened yogurt) and Rajbhog (flavoured rasgullas ) will feature on both the lunch and dinner.
Mouth-watering Bengali snacks such as Mangsher Singara (samosas stuffed with minced meat) and jalebis will also find their way to the connoisseurs' plates.
“The basic idea is to recreate an atmosphere to attract passengers,” a company spokesperson said.
To top it all, travellers will also experience a part of Bengal's famed hospitality. Food will be served in trays decked in traditional decor that include banana leaf mats. Specially designed menu-cards too will adorn these domestic and international flights.
In order to create an ambience of the Pujas, Air India ill also deck up its various booking counters as well as offer customised holiday packages for both domestic and international frequent fliers.
