Patna, (BiharTimes): Perked up by the success of litti-chokha experience in the railway canteens the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation is now planning to provide this unique Bihari delicacies in the running trains too.

This fast food-item has not only proved successful in all the stations of the East Central Railway but has been equally appreciated in Delhi. According to the regional manager of the IRCTC, Rajesh Rana, the Corporation has been studying the feasibility of providing them in trains as they have been much sought after dish in the ECR. Ways are being explored to serve them hot to passengers. A final decision in this regard will soon be taken.

The IRCTC had planned to introduce a new system to create a uniformity in its catering service across the country. Now only 21 approved food items will be served on trains instead of 121 in the menu in the past.

Certain south Indian delicacies like idli and dosa have been removed from the menu––initially for three months. Noodles, vegetable burgers and pakodas have now been included in it.

Recently when I was travelling from Mumbai to Patna by train, I was pleasantly surprised to see the pantry car vendors selling litti - chokha. So they have already started selling this Bihari staple food in running trains!

We with our friends have opened one litti Chokha out let in Pune. Its is really good response from Pune students and young crowd from Pune. We are promoting bihari food in Maharastra and we have to dream to cover whole India as soon as possible.

Because luck favors those who dares.
