Singapore Airlines has introduced a revamped inflight menu in collaboration with celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor. The airline aims to enhance its onboard dining experience, particularly for passengers traveling between India and Singapore. The new offerings include two premium thali options: Shahi Thali and Ruchi Thali, each featuring a variety of traditional Indian dishes.
Sanjeev Kapoor is known for modernizing traditional Indian cuisine and has worked closely with Singapore Airlines to create these distinct thali experiences. The Shahi Thali includes rich, aromatic dishes such as Murg Lababdar and Dal Makhani, while the Ruchi Thali offers lighter flavors with items like Aloo Gobi and Tadka Dal. Both thalis are served with freshly baked rotis, pickles, raita, and desserts like Gulab Jamun or Skrikhand.
The introduction of these menus aligns with Singapore Airlines' strategy to cater to high demand for quality Indian-themed cuisine among its passengers. The airline operates numerous flights to major Indian cities under its brand and through its subsidiary Scoot.
