BLOCKADE triggered innovations in Qatar in different fields and gastronomy is no exception.
Initiatives like ‘Kethel Chicken’, an outlet serving locally developed delicious, mouth-watering chicken recipe, was one of the outcomes of the siege imposed on Qatar three years ago.
It is a chicken recipe with an indigenous flavour where farm-fresh chicken is brought straight from the poultry farm to oven and from oven to the dining table.
Speaking to Qatar Tribune, Anil Kumar Puthur, director of ‘Kethel Chicken’ and Arab India Trading, which deals in sale of vegetables and fruits, said, “We wanted a local recipe that came straight from a Qatari poultry farm to the kitchen with no need for preservatives or cooling and was served fresh. To serve chicken as fresh as we can is our target. So, we conducted research that involved dieticians and marketing experts. Subsequently, we opened our maiden ‘Kethel Chicken’ outlet in Doha a year after the blockade.”
Poultry business was one area that attracted a large number of young entrepreneurs after the imposition of the unjust and illegal blockade. Infrastructure facilities offered by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, Agriculture Department, and leading financial institutions were the main factors in attracting enterprising youths to the poultry business.
Concerned entities of the government developed remote areas by providing water and power supply to attract a large number of poultry farmers to start their businesses in Al Shamal, Al Khor, and Um Salal Ali areas.
The interrupted flow of poultry products to the local market opened new opportunities for meat processing, production of fodder for livestock, processed food, as well as the establishment of restaurant chains that serve delicious recipes prepared from fresh farm products.
“Exploring the potential of the poultry sector, ‘Kethel Chicken’ plans to have more outlets in Qatar in future,” Puthur informed.
As a leading supplier of vegetables and fruits in Qatar, the Arab India Trading has a strong and sustainable supply chain for fruits and vegetables in south Asian countries.
According to Puthur, the agriculture sector that boomed after the blockade unfolded a lot of opportunities for investors and generated employment in Qatar. The food market, which has slowed down currently amid the coronavirus pandemic, will experience a resurgence after the COVID-19 subsides.
