Ready to Cook and Ready to Eat - Food of the Future?
‘No time to cook or any time to look at the book’. No problem! One just needs to rub the purse and boil some water. Snap a finger and lo! There is a lavish spread on the table Ready-to-Eat.
Welcome to the readymade zamana, where food - be it anything, Chana Masala, Dal Bukhara or Palak Paneer - comes packaged now, in a ready-to-eat format. The future belongs to these RTC & RTE food items.
A wide surfeit of ready-mixes is available off the shelves today. Abhi, a ten-year old boy returns home tired and hungry after eight hours at school. As usual his mother, a bank employee, is yet to come back from her office.
But the boy is not much worried, as his 12-year old sister Meghna, who has also returned from the school with him, will prepare the food. Thanks to modern technology and innovative ideas, the job is easy these days.
Meghna will use a packet of Ready-to-Eat chapathis along with a Ready-to-Eat packet of vegetable curry, heat them up on the gas oven and serve hot and tasty food for both. And five minutes is all that the whole process will take.
The menu of RTC & RTE food spans the length and breadth of the country, keeping the interest of carnivores as well as our lettuce-loving friends. From Chicken Samosa, Methi Mutter Masala, Salad Mixes, Bengal Lentils, Dalmakhni, Avails, Jaipur vegetables, Kashmir Spinach, Sambhar and Tomato Rasam, Dum-ka-kumbh, Palak Paneer, Chicken Tangdi Kebab, Mushroom Butter Masala and a list of many such swooning delicacies, too numerous to mention, there are instant desserts too, like Khubbani ka Meetha, Kaju Burfi, Gulab Jamun and Kesar Pista ice-cream mix. The list simply goes on…!
