Mumbai: As 30 passengers on an Air India flight from Shanghai to Mumbai on June 18 peeled back the tin foil of their in-flight meal, they were probably looking forward to the vegetarian meal they'd been promised. After all, they were returning from a country whose cuisine is unfriendly to non-meat eaters. Getting served prawns in their Shabnam Kofta Curry - well, that was just not kosher.
Air India is now looking into imposing a penalty on the Chinese caterer who had served prawns to flyers opting for a vegetarian meal - perhaps unwittingly even breaking their religious strictures. "It went unnoticed during loading till two passengers pointed it out to the crew. All the 32 Hindu vegetarian meal food packets in the food section had a green dot on them," a crew member said.
After learning of the matter, an onboard announcement was made and the meals were swiftly whisked away.
