Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa announced that new dishes would be brought in to the menu of the Amma Unavagams across the city. She also said that food would be served in the evenings as well. The announcement comes in the wake of the super success of the low cost food outlets. Currently, the restaurants serve breakfast and lunch only.
‘Everything was already in place to start the supply of dishes including pongal and various kinds of rice, in about 10 days. But the decision on when to start serving these new dishes is yet to be taken. Chapathis however, will make an appearance on September 1’, said an official. ’The introduction of these new items is expected to reduce the consumption of idlis (at Re. 1 each) at the canteens.’
“When I retire next year I will get a pension of Rs. 1,900 a month.This will be hardly to make ends meet. These restaurants will be really useful to me”, said a customer. “The portions served (are) generous. One portion of sambar rice and one of curd rice makes for a good meal, at Rs. 8”, said another.
