New Delhi, Aug 29 - German carrier Lufthansa Saturday unveiled a new in-flight menu to give its first and business class passengers on India route a rich gourmet experience with Indian culinary delights especially crafted by two well-known chefs.

Prawn curry masala, Tomato pappu (lentils), khade masale ka paneer (cottage cheese), lal mans (lamb) and Alleppey fish curry are some of the creations of Farman Ali and Surender Mohan, both of them master chefs with the Leela group.

'We aim to turn our flights into a truly special experience. This includes savouring the cooking skills of our famous 'Star Chefs',' said Axel Hilgers, Lufthansa's director for South Asia.

'We cater to specific preferences of Indian customers. Together with our selection of world class wines and personal service, fine Indian dining above the clouds assures our guests a memorable journey,' he said during a media preview at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here.

The carrier operates 54 flights a week to seven Indian destinations and will celebrate its 50th anniversary of its operations to India later this year.

'Royal menus from the four corners of India have always fascinated me,' said chef Ali, who is a known expert in Hyderabadi, Awadhi, Kashmiri and Marwari cuisines.
