Desi snacks FTW!

TravelKhana.com, a wide marketplace enabling food ordering for travelers which has integrated its services with the IRCTC website, has projected data highlighting that apart from proper meals, nearly 39 per cent railway travellers prefer to order snacks, light meals and sweets during their journey.

The recent data released by the online food-ordering marketplace records 8 per cent sales in Rasmalai and 4 per cent sales in Jaljira Drink, 7 per cent sales in Gulab Jamun & 2 per cent sales in Kaju Barfi. The rest of the items in demand include 4 per cent sales in Khowe Ki Jalebi and 3 per cent sales in Rabri, 3 per cent sales in Lassi and Dal Kachori, 3 per cent sales in Samosa and 2 per cent sales of Rasogulla.

Commenting on the survey, Pushpinder Singh, CEO & do-founder, TravelKhana commented, “Our data shows that a significant number of passengers’ bookings are primarily made for light meals and sweets. This makes it quite evident that Indians love to relish their desi snacks and sweet meats in the company of friends and family and reserve a special fondness for Gulab Jamuns, Rasmalais, Samosas, Kachoris and Kaju Barfi. ”

Railway passengers are required to simply click on the “Food on Track” tab on the IRCTC website while booking their train tickets and select the meal of their choice. This assures them of having delicious food delivered by TravelKhana right at their berth at the station which they choose during the booking process.
