On June 1, American Airlines will enhance its menu offerings for flights between Chicago and Delhi, India, with new dishes that embody the
fragrant, exotic flavors of India.
First and Business Class passengers on flights from Chicago (ORD) to Delhi (DEL) will dine on new entrées developed by the executive
chef of Chicago’s critically-acclaimed Vermilion restaurant, Maneet
Chauhan.
“We are pleased to offer our customers entrées that unite the best of two cultures as part of American’s continued commitment to enhance
premium class products and services,” said Lauri Curtis, American’s Vice President – Onboard Service. “Chef Chauhan’s extensive
knowledge of Indian cuisine and contemporary culinary techniques combined to create a flavorful menu reflective of the characteristics
commonly appreciated by our customers.”
The new menu is the result of a collaborative effort between Vermilion, Gate Gourmet chefs, and American Airlines flight attendants.
Newly-designed selections will rotate monthly and include:
Patrani Maachali – coconut mint marinated halibut served with lemon rice and punjabi saag paneer
Dahi Elaichi Rajma – red kidney beans simmered in a green cardamom yogurt base
Dalcha Gosht – slow braised lamb served with mango rice and malal kofta
Shrimp Moilee – shrimp with a delicate turmeric and coconut sauce served with tomato cumin rice and anardana chole (garbanzo beans with pomegranate seeds).
Customers in First Class and Business Class departing from Delhi
will also be able to enjoy freshly-created menus developed in conjunction with
American Airlines Indian catering group, TAJSATS. In addition to cheese antipasto, a mint mango salad dressing, and olive artisan bread,
the new offerings debuted in May and include:
