Shahi murg, sultana pulao, paneer rezala, and many more succulent dishes are going to grace the menu of Rajdhani and Duronto Express trains this Pujo season, said a Times of India report.

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) wants its passengers to get a taste of the festive season with its special menu on five trains – Howrah and Sealdah Rajdhanis, the Howrah and Sealdah Durontos to New Delhi, Howrah-Yesvantpur Duronto Express, Sealdah-Puri Duronto Express and the Howrah-Digha AC Express – said the report.

The staff has also been instructed to greet customers appropriately and the food plazas in the stations in the east have been asked to decorate their outlets to give a more celebratory feel.

The menu has been designed for four auspicious days of Puja, ie, Saptami, Ashtami, Navmi and Dashami. On Saptami, it will be paneer korma/shahi murg, moong dal with green peas and ghee, sultana pulao/roti, and ice cream for dessert. The next day it will be chicken/paneer rezala, dal makhani, etc.

On Navmi, one would get a taste of murg do pyaza/matar paneer, mixed dal, and on Dashami you can treat your tastebuds with makhanwali murg/paneer, chana dal with coconut, ghee bhaat and gulab jamun.

An IRCTC official told TOI that they will make sure the meals are cooked, packed and served in a proper manner.
