If you are travelling from Dubai to Calcutta and are worried about the Idli sambhar they&rsquoll serve you on board, fret not as Emirates comes to the rescue With 185 flights to India each week, Emirates has decided to introduce menus that reflect the regional tastes and customer preferences of all 10 destinations that the airlines cater to. Initially created to suit the palates of Indian customers, the menus will give visiting travellers an authentic taste of some of India&rsquos most popular regional dishes. Additionally, menus on the Indian routes have been translated into the local regional language of the destination. The catering team has also experimented with the presentation of meals in First Class and Business Class &ndash the traditional Indian cuisine has been given a contemporary look in terms of plating.

However, the menu will continue to offer accompaniments typical to Indian cuisine such as chivda (a savory dry snack), nimbu paani (lemon water), pappadums, raita (yoghurt) and traditional Indian after-mints.
