Halwa chana puri is a traditional Indian dish commonly served as prasad during Ashtami in Navratri or enjoyed as breakfast in Indian homes. The dish is indulgent and loved by almost every Indian. But no one would imagine this traditional meal being served on a flight. But that is exactly what happened to Pune woman Priti Jain, who was travelling on an Air India flight from Delhi to Bali.

She took to X to share images of the meal and wrote, “First in my bloodline to get halwa puri channa served as an in-flight meal.” Priti also added that her husband was shocked to see this meal and avoided it because he does not like “thandi puris” that much. Priti, however, was quite happy to finish his meal too. She ended her post by asking netizens about their thoughts on the unexpected in-flight meal.
