Dubai, UAE: 2 November 2021 – In celebration of Diwali, Emirates will be offering customers festive treats on-board all flights to India from 2nd to 6th November. Customers travelling to/from Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Cochin, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata, and Mumbai will enjoy a selection of delicious, traditional sweets, packaged in exclusively designed, colourful boxes.
Economy Class customers travelling with Emirates will be served a mouth-watering Motichoor Laddu with all hot tray meals. The traditional dessert is made up of small flour balls deep fried in ghee and simmered in a cardamom and saffron infused sugar syrup, decorated with a silver leaf as a final touch.
Premium customers travelling in First Class and Business Class will also be served Motichoor Laddu, and Mixed Nut Tribooj – a traditional, rich sweet known for its distinctive covering of edible silver foil. The Mixed Nut Tribooj is made with milk and spices, with delicate-flavoured nuts like cashews and pistachios to enhance its flavour.
