With an already extensive menu of more than 70 varieties of delectable burgers, wraps, finger foods, beverages and desserts, McDonald’s this monsoon has added the crunchy twist to its menu with the Crispy Veggie Pops. Prepared with freshly chopped spinach and potatoes and drizzled with aromatic Indian spices and herbs like mint and coriander leaves, these Veggie Pops are lightly breaded and fried to a golden brown.
Recommended with signature mint sauce in a convenient hand-held package designed for eating on-the-go, the freshly prepared Crispy Veggie Pops are part of McDonald’s commitment to offering customers a variety of relevant tastes and new food choices. Customers can choose a portion of 6 Crispy Veggie Pops at Rs. 25 or 12 Crispy Veggie Pops at Rs. 45.
The Crispy Veggie Pops were tested on the menu in Hyderabad before appearing across the 166 restaurant locations in west and south India.
Commenting on this new introduction, Mr Rameet Arora, Senior Director, Marketing and Menu Management, Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd, said, “We’re so happy to continually add exciting new items to our menu. I am particularly pleased with the creativity and exciting flavour profiles of the new menu items. Once again, our culinary team has pushed the envelope to create innovative dishes that our guests have come to expect from McDonald’s. Also, the packaging design was important for us as we wanted to ensure our customers can enjoy each bite; whether dining in our restaurants or on-the-go.”
Customers can now enjoy the Crispy Veggie Pops at the nearest McDonald’s restaurant or order them online at www.mcdelivery.co.in.
