When 2020 has given the world COVID-19, “turn it into an opportunity and produce awareness through food” is the mantra of KL Kumar, a Madurai based Hotelier. His Temple City hotel in has actually innovated their existing dishes and are presenting them in line with the current pattern. Mask Parottas, Corona-shaped Dosas, Bondas and a brand-new herbal concoction are the most recent offerings on their menu given that Tuesday morning.
Over the last week or two, the Madurai district has actually been seeing a quick spike in COVID-19 cases, with over 300 new cases being reported daily. The district has actually also been under extreme lockdown given that the last week of June.
In the middle of these difficult times, hotelier Kumar thought of giving their dishes a twist while also creating awareness amongst the general public. And what better dish to begin with than the iconic Parotta that Madurai is renowned for.
” From yesterday early morning we have started selling these new dishes and they are readily available for take-away only, because of the existing federal government restrictions.
He adds that innovating with dishes is absolutely nothing brand-new for them.
Besides these innovative eatables that are cost Rs.50( for a set of 2), the hotel also provides a complimentary ‘organic rasam’ with some of their meals. They claim that it helps people develop immunity.
” Usually during the lockdown we have a need for just 50 sets of parottas, and now the demand has soared nearly ten times. Parottas are typically demanded during the night, today the demand is high even from the early morning” Kumar said.
While the quirky cuisine has caused a huge spike in sales at his branch in the Mattuthavani market area, he hopes to offer these dishes throughout his chain of 12 hotels in Madurai once the lockdown eases.
