Citizens will have two additional items on the menu for breakfast at Indira Canteens soon: two slices of bread and jam, and mangaluru buns, along with the existing menu of idlis, pongal, kharabath, bisibelebath, and vegetable pulav.
With the Congress, who launched the Indira Canteens with much fanfare, back in the saddle, the canteens are not only being revived and expanded but their menu is also being revamped. The city’s civic body is all set to call for new tenders for providing food, and running the canteens at the zonal level next week.
For lunch and dinner, the civic body will introduce ragi mudde and soppu saaru as an option on the menu, which will be available every alternate day, while on other days, chapati-sagu or chapati with veg gravy will be available apart from the white rice and vegetable sambar on the menu now. The civic body will also introduce a sweet – kheer – only for lunch five days a week.
