Ola Food launches Khichdi Premier League to bring India's love for comfort food and cricket together

New Delhi, Dec 24 () Foodpanda, owned by ride-hailing company Ola, has posted a wider loss of Rs 756.42 crore for FY19 compared to the previous fiscal, as per regulatory documents.
<p>Pisces Eservices, which operates Foodpanda, had registered loss of Rs 227.95 crore in FY2017-18, documents filed with the Corporate Affairs Ministry and accessed by business intelligence platform Tofler showed.
</p><p>However, revenue from operations and other income increased 12.2 per cent to Rs 81.77 crore in FY19 from Rs 72.84 crore in the preceding fiscal.
</p><p>"The online food ordering market is a multi-billion industry and provides ample opportunity of growth. We being an early player in the online food ordering and processing market have a deep understanding of the market dynamics and the revenue and profitability levers," Foodpanda said in the filing.
</p><p>It added that the management is revamping the entire process to focus on becoming leaders in food manufacturing and processing.
</p><p>"To achieve this, we have built state-of-the-art kitchen infrastructure and launched various brands in different segment like shakes, khichdi, biryani, rice bowls and desserts. Our focus this year would be on further improving the customer experience and increasing our market share through a diverse and comprehensive product portfolio," it said.
</p><p>This, Foodpanda said, would be supported by investment in technology, logistics and brand.
</p><p>"Our understanding of consumer needs driven by data science gives us a competitive advantage in terms of customer experience, while increasing the capital efficiency," it added.
</p><p>The company continues to be optimistic about the business and is hopeful of better performance with increased revenue in years to come, the filing said.
</p><p>Foodpanda did not respond to emailed queries.
</p><p>Tofler CEO Anchal Agarwal said Foodpanda's burn rate of Rs 756 crore over Rs 82 crore of revenues is one of the highest among Indian startups.
</p><p>"The significant increase in expenses from the last year is contributed by discounts provided and delivery charges incurred. It is interesting to note that the company has incurred delivery charges of Rs 267 crore compared to its revenues of Rs 82 crore. The discount expenses were to the tune of Rs 137 crore (that's nearly 1.5x of revenues)," she said.
</p><p>Agarwal said Foodpanda's decision to build out cloud kitchen brands "makes sense in light of the surging expenses the company seems to have incurred in the previous year".
</p>"They have also infused USD 100 million in form of debt in the company," she added.  SR  SR BAL

Foodpanda losses widen to Rs 756.4 cr in FY19, co optimistic over higher revenue

<p>It's a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/why-indian-food-tastes-good-2015-3">scientific fact that Indian food tastes good</a>, mainly thanks to the abundance of spices and flavors.</p><p>There's also quite a variety in Indian cuisine, with dishes ranging from North to South and sometimes by kitchen to kitchen. Punjabi, Bengali, Rajasthani, Goan, Gujarati, and Maharashtrian are just the tip of the delicious iceberg.</p><p>And that doesn't even take into account all of the Anglicized versions of classic Indian dishes, from curry to chutney.</p><p>Here are nine authentic Indian dishes you should try instead of the Western knockoffs.</p><h3>Instead of chicken tikka masala, order chicken tikka </h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><a href="http://www.dawn.com/news/824158/chicken-tikka-masala-claims-its-origins-in-scotland">As the story goes</a>, an Indian chef named Ali Ahmed Aslam invented chicken tikka masala dish while cooking in Scotland. The improvised mixture of yogurt, cream, spices, and tomato soup was poured over chicken after a customer complained about the meat being too dry. Wherever it originated, the dish caught on with the Western palate.<a href="http://www.dawn.com/news/824158/chicken-tikka-masala-claims-its-origins-in-scotland"><br /></a></p><p>And while the sauce does add a lot to the flavor of the dish, a much more authentic meal to try would be chicken tikka, boneless chicken pieces baked on skewers after marinating in spices and yogurt (basically tandoori chicken, but without the bone).</p><h3>Instead of eating naan with every meal, try making rotis instead</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Most British and American eaters will only consume their Indian food with a side of naan bread. And while the naan is the same baked fluffy flatbread that is eaten in India, it's usually only <a href="http://eatyourworld.com/destinations/asia/india/delhi/what_to_eat/breads_naan_roti_chapati%20">reserved for special occasions</a>.</p><p>Roti is the bread-of-choice in India. Roti is <a href="http://www.my-indian-food.com/IndianBread.asp">unleavened wheat-flour bread</a> that is thinner than naan, and can be paired with just about anything from honey and cream for breakfast to curries.</p><h3>Instead of dishes made with curry powder, try using a more unique mixture of spices </h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>What we think of as "curry" are dishes that have been cooked with curry powder, typically with pre-mixed flavors of turmeric, ginger, chillies, and coriander, among others.</p><p>But the word "curry" was <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1989-06-04/features/8902060491_1_curry-authentic-indian-cuisine-coriander">coined by the English</a> and is an oversimplification of Indian cuisine, which uses a variety of spices (masalas) all individually added as you cook so that the mixture is much more unique and varying depending on the region and sometimes by specific kitchen. </p><p><a href="http://www.chicagonow.com/chicagoan-as-apple-pie/2012/06/deconstructing-curry-curry-powder-versus-curry/">A few of the key spices</a> to have on hand are turmeric powder, cumin seeds, coriander power, cinnamon, red chili or cayenne powder, cardamom, ginger, garlic, and mustard seeds. Don't be afraid to branch out and experiment.</p><h3>Instead of mango or "Major Grey's Chutney," try different kinds of chutneys</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Chutney was a favorite among the British when Imperialism was still in its heyday. The most famous was <a href="http://www.virginiachutney.com/what-is-chutney">Major Grey's Chutney</a> with mango, vinegar, raisins, lime juice, onion, tamarind, and other spices.</p><p>But there are so many different chutneys to try, most of which are less jam-like and more runny than the Anglo-Indian counterparts. </p><p>In Indian cuisine, chutneys can <a href="http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/chutney-recipes-indian-chutney-recipe/">range the gamut</a> from sweet to savory. Pineapple, coconut, olive, walnut, and fig are just some of the variants - it it's a fruit, spice, or herb, you can make a chutney with it.<a href="http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/chutney-recipes-indian-chutney-recipe/"><br /></a></p><h3>Instead of eating kedgeree, try the much more authentic khichdi</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Though American readers may not be as familiar with kedgeree, it's a type of <a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/06/british-bites-kedgeree-recipe.html">British curried rice</a> usually made with smoked haddock and hard-boiled eggs with some curry powder thrown in. Needless to say, it is a British version of an authentic Indian dish. </p><p>It likely originated from <a href="http://holycowvegan.net/2014/06/masala-khichdi.html">khichdi</a>, a rice and lentils dish that varies heavily by region. No matter what recipe you choose, it's generally considered to be comfort food and makes a fantastic side. It ranges from plain (lentils, rice, and salt) to chock-full of veggies and spices.</p><h3>Instead of ordering mulligatawny soup, try rasam over rice</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Surprise, surprise - another British version of a classic Indian recipe. <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/bon-appetits-mulligatawny-soup-chicken-4891">Mulligatawny</a>, loosely translated as "pepper water,"  is made with chicken or lamb broth, vegetables, and lots of spices. </p><p>It's based on a sauce known as <a href="http://www.sowpernica-samayal.com/rasam-varieties">rasam</a> that's typically eaten with rice, though it can also be eaten as a soup. It's usually prepared with tamarind juice, tomato, chili pepper, pepper, and cumin, though there are many different kinds of rasam to enjoy. </p><h3>Instead of the Anglicized comfort food meatball curry, order malai kofta</h3><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><a href="http://www.mayscookingclass.info/meat-ball-curry-recipe/">Meatball curry is an Anglo-Indian comfort food</a> classic with minced beef or chicken, coriander, chilies, potatoes and more all simmered into a delicious and easy meal.<a href="http://www.mayscookingclass.info/meat-ball-curry-recipe/"><br /></a></p><p>For a more authentic and still tasty counterpart, try <a href="http://www.acurryofalife.com/malai-kofta/">malai kofta</a>. It's a North Indian meal with fried vegetable balls and tomato-based gravy with coriander, cumin, chillies, cardamom, cream, and more. This is a good one for any vegetarians out there, too.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/rival-armed-gangs-fighting-in-china-video-2015-2">Watch 2 armed gangs fight on a busy road in China</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="RwcGo2czoKLZhcKYJSFEeU8bohrjYxgg" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

7 real Indian dishes you should try instead of the Westernized knockoffs

Starting August 5 and for the following 10 days, Delhi’s Tihar jail will have the sort of visitors who generally find themselves working in very different circumstances. They’ll be coming to see Sahara chief Subrata Roy, who’s trying to raise Rs 10,000 crore as a get-out-of-jail card by selling or mortgaging real estate assets.<br />
<br /> So how is Tihar preparing for this unusual event? A large 30x18 ft conference room with an attached bathroom and a 12x12 ft annexe inside the <keyword id="2456860" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tihar-court">Tihar court</keyword> complex are being readied for Roy and two Sahara directors, Ashok Roy Choudhary and <keyword id="709634" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ravi-Shankar-Dubey">Ravi Shankar Dubey</keyword>, who are also lodged in the same prison.<br />
<br />
Jail authorities have sent a letter to Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung to notify the conference room as a special jail but with certain relaxations — phones and laptops, WiFi connectivity and visitors from 6 am to 8 pm on all days except Sundays and gazetted holidays.<br />
<br /> The <keyword id="31906" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sahara-group">Sahara Group</keyword> will pay for the privileges. The room, which is used for confidential meetings and press briefings by the directorgeneral of prisons, has a 52-inch TV for making presentations, video-conferencing and a table that seats 25.<br />
<br />
It also has wood-paneled walls and is fully air-conditioned.<br />
<br />
<strong>Visitors coming to meet Roy to be frisked</strong><br />
<br />
All Visitors Coming to meet Roy to be Frisked Roy’s guests — corporate bigwigs, investors, top lawyers, merchant bankers, et al — will get vegetarian meals, snacks and tea prepared in the jail canteen, which is manned by a few longtime inmates. All visitors will be subject to frisking.<br />
<br />
The Sahara chief has been in Tihar jail since March over the issue of refunds to investors in a financial instrument issued by two group companies in violation of norms. The Securities and Exchange Board of India says Sahara has to pay more than Rs 37,000 crore by way of the refund amount and interest.<br />
<br /> While Sahara says it has already paid much of the money that is due, the <keyword id="6354977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court">Supreme Court</keyword> has told Roy that he needs to raise Rs 5,000 crore in cash and Rs 5,000 crore by way of bank guarantees to get bail.<br />
<br />
The Sahara boss and the two directors are currently housed in a section for inmates above 60. As with other parts of the jail, no cellphones and laptops are allowed and jammers restrict all forms of electronic communications.  That’s why Roy and his team need to be relocated. “We can’t switch off the jammers just for one person. It will send a wrong message to others. It could become a precedent of sorts if we allow him privileges inside the jail and other inmates might start asking for similar things then,” said a senior jail official, who did not want to be named.<br />
<br /> The court order permits Roy and his team to conduct business meetings and negotiations in the designated area. The most valuable properties on the Sahara list are its three international hotels — Grosvenor House Hotel in London and <keyword id="999813" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Plaza">The Plaza</keyword> and Dream Downtown Hotel in New York.<br />
<br />
ET reported last month that those looking to buy the properties include the Poonawalla family based in Pune, an investor group linked to the Qatar royal family and Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei.<br />
<br />
The Poonawallas have made an offer of £550 million for the London property. One of the world’s largest luxury property investors Madison has offered $800 million for Sahara’s New York hotels.<br />
<br />
The terms under which Sahara has been allowed to set up the deal room are listed in the affidavit filed by Rajesh Kumar, superintendent of Central Jail No 3 at Tihar.<br />
<br />
“They will have to submit a list of visitors to the superintendent in advance. Confidentiality will be maintained,” said the jail official cited above.<br />
<br />
In his affidavit, Kumar had also suggested a second option — a guest house at the new residential complex, which is a type V government accommodation with three double rooms, a single room and two toilets — but the conference facility was found more suitable to conduct business. The conference room is within the Tihar court complex, which usually convenes once a month to deal with petty offences.<br />
<br />
“It already is a secure place. There is one common entry and exit point that will be monitored by CCTV cameras,” said another official aware of the planning.<br />
<br />
Roy and the two directors will stay at the annexe attached to the conference room and will be free to conduct business through the night considering that they will be dealing predominantly with people in the US and Europe. However, secretarial staff will only be allowed at visiting hours.<br />
<br />
Tihar jail is a 200-acre facility, the largest prison complex in South Asia, and has different wards for different types of inmates — firsttimers, hardcore criminals and those over 60. Roy and the two directors are housed in a single room in the over-60 block where there are regular medical check-ups and sevadars to take care of prisoners’ basic needs.<br />
<br /> For health reasons, Roy sometimes asks for khichdi from the jail canteen for which he pays, said the <keyword id="2456859" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="first-jail-official">first jail official</keyword> cited above. He sticks to himself for the most part and is usually meditating on his own, the person said.
