PRIYA MALHOTRAPGDM CORE (SECTION C)17DM173Suppose youre a member of Food Conduit. Some students come to you and start complaining about the menu and quality of food in the mess. How will you tackle the situation to satisfy the taste buds of every student from various parts of the country? Further, what measures will you take to manage both the ends, the student as well as the administration?Firstly, I will analyze the issue in detail as to understand how exactly the quality of food in the mess is poor. Secondly, I would interact with all the students to understand their wants so that the food conduit is able to cater to the wish of almost every student. Interaction will be done by making a Google doc or a spreadsheet wherein all the foodies can submit their responses. I would want to cater to every region of India. To be able to make a dish or a part of it for people from each part, I would create FUSION DISHES. For e.g. I am aware about a few people who are highly diet conscious so they would want to eat boiled vegetables, protein shakes that can be made with homemade substitutes, less oily food or if the budget allows virgin oil would be suggested, etc. To enhance the concept of fusion, I feel all the students would be very intrigued and excited if they were made to eat South Indian sweet dishes along with North Indian main course items. The south Indian sweet dishes include Payasam and kesari. This practice will cater to the needs of students from both the regions. There are a few South Indian drinks that can be served during lunch meals, one of which is Rasam. It is a really tasty drink that can be enjoyed by every student. To make the entire eating experience more exciting and creative, South Indian dishes can be served in their traditional style of banana leaves (twice a week). A few more south Indian dishes can be Idiyappam stew, Sambhar chawal, Upma, etc. Dishes like these are likeable by mostly everyone. (Almost all my friends want the frequency of south Indian items to be increased in the menu)For people who prefer eating Bengali items, there are multiple dishes one of those is Paturi. (It is basically urad dal is converted into a powdered form via a mixer and then mix it with grated radish after which all the spices are added. This is mixed with the major ingredient mustard oil, the aroma of which is very enticing. All this is wrapped in a banana leaf, tied with a thread, coated with another layer of mustard oil and is steamed. This is served by cutting it in square shaped pieces.)
