Restaurants gear up to send protein-rich COVID meals for home quarantine patients

With entire families quarantined, restaurants in Chennai are tweaking menus and logistics to deliver affordable, nutritious and hot meals to your doorstep

Pattu Subramaniam and M.Bhagheerathi, managing partners, Dosa with a twist, T.Nagar, spent many weeks thoughtfully curating and putting together a healthy protein-rich COVID Health Package at their restaurant. With a focus on nutrition, they now cook two types of south Indian breakfasts, offering a herbal kashayam, peanut-cucumber salad and mango lassi. Lunch is a hearty collection of 11 items, including fruit salad, panagam and traditional dessert made with jaggery. Dinner is kanji plus a steamed tiffin item with turmeric milk, fruits and nuts. “We developed the meu to ensure sufficient protein in all the three meals. We try to give variety so they feel comforted and pampered. Which is why every meal comes with our signature traditional chutneys and dessert,” says Subramaniam. Launched on May 10, they offer meal packages at ₹600 per day, only on pre-order. (All meal packages are for breakfast, lunch and dinner for one person.) Seven and 14-day packages are also available. Delivery is free within six-kilometre radius. For details, call: 9940147611
