If you are among those who wanted to switch to vegetarianism but thought you'd miss out on the meat, then India's vegetarian chicken is here. And what's better, it is as a pizza topping! Domino's India has launched the 'Unthinkable Pizza' which has plant-based meat. On December 22 the pizza chain introduced India's first plant protein-based pizza. Jubilant FoodWorks, which operates the popular pizza chain decided to chance upon the growing popularity of plant protein-based products in the world. Early this month, lab-grown meat sought government approval for sale in Singapore. It thus became the first country in the world to sell cultured meat.
With this 'Unthinkable Pizza', Domino's Pizza is the first QSR brand to bring the latest food trend to India. As per the company statement, "The Unthinkable Pizza' will provide both vegetarians and nonvegetarians an interesting and innovative option in the menu." This plant-based protein pizza will be available at all Domino's restaurants across Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore. The plant-based mince topping is said to taste like chicken. The trend is growing in the West. KFC has also tested meatless chicken in the past teaming up with vegan food maker in the US.
