Bengaluru: Indira Canteens will serve Payasam, various types of palav, aloo kurma and other delicacies from March 1.
While payasam, the dessert, will be restricted to lunch, batani palav, palak idli, sabudana kheer, veg palav, aloo palav, aloo-batani curry, aloo kurma, tadka idli, curd, salad and jeera rice will feature on the menu and will be spread over the week.
The Palike’s move to add a dash of variety to the daily menu comes in the wake of suggestions from public. BBMP commissioner N Manjunatha Prasad has directed officials and contractors associated with the canteens to ensure the changes are implemented from March 1.
A senior civic official associated with the canteen project said that no additional cost will be incurred due to these changes. “Contractors have to make adjustments as per the existing contract,” he added.
The official said that though footfall at the canteens has been good, the civic body wants to ensure customers don’t get bored of the same menu. “Also, many customers suggested that they would like sweet dish and pickle, among other things on the menu,” he added.
