Chef Sena Dubois: cooking for departures from Ratnagiri

For aviation catering at RTC, Chef Sena Dubois works with pomfret landed that morning at Ratnagiri's fish harbour, filleting each portion to equal weight so reheating times stay uniform across a galley oven set to convection. She pan‑sears the skin until it crisps, then finishes the flesh with a reduction of kokum, shallot and cracked black pepper—a preparation that holds its structure under vacuum seal and reheats without splitting. The fillet is plated over a bed of steamed red rice, the grain chosen because it doesn't clump when chilled and travels well in segmented containers. Alphonso mango, diced and macerated with lime zest, sits in a separate lidded ramekin to prevent moisture migration during the flight. Every element is labelled by allergen—fish, allium—and stacked in a single‑portion tray that fits standard half‑size trolley slots. For longer sectors she packs the curry base separately, instructing crew to combine and warm at 160 °C for twelve minutes, ensuring the fish doesn't overcook if service is delayed. Desserts—a set panna cotta infused with cardamom—are poured into domed plastic moulds that tolerate cabin pressure changes and stack without tipping.

How the order window works at Ratnagiri Airport

Against the morning departure peak, production is timed to hold cold overnight and leave at first light. To order private jet catering for a flight from RTC, allow forty-eight hours lead time; a last-minute adjustment is typically absorbed if the kitchen preparing your order receives it before the packing run starts. Same-day requests are handled on your schedule where the slot and the production window align. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours, the delivery run synchronised with fuelling, crews briefed on oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type.

Inflight catering — India

Inflight catering Ratnagiri: coastal sourcing

Ratnagiri sits on the Konkan coast, where local sourcing draws on Arabian Sea fisheries, mango orchards and cashew plantations that define the region's culinary identity. Spring brings Alphonso mangoes—your chef selects fruit at full ripeness, chills them whole or purées them for mousses and coulis that travel cold. Kokum, the dried fruit used in coastal sherbets and curries, is sourced from nearby groves and steeped to order, balancing acidity without added preservatives. Fish markets supply pomfret, mackerel and kingfish hours after landing; the kitchen fillets, marinates and either grills for hot service or cures for chilled platters. Cashews roasted in small batches add texture to salads and garnishes, while jaggery from village co‑operatives sweetens desserts without refined sugar. This short‑circuit supply chain ensures produce arrives with morning dew still visible, reducing cold‑storage time and preserving the bright, saline flavour profile that distinguishes Konkani cooking from inland Indian styles.
