    Licious presents ‘Sunday Special’ with the freshest mutton offerings

    Mumbai: The country’s most loved meat and seafood brand – Licious – now strengthens its offering of an extensive range of mutton cuts, catering to the specific needs of discerning customers in Tamil Nadu. Now customers in Chennai can enjoy fresh & premium quality cuts such as shoulder curry cut, ribs, chops and more. Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any better, there are also the Mixed Packs for true mutton lovers, with a mix and match of pieces of your choice suited for an array of mutton recipes. Now your Sunday Special show can be marked with rich mutton curry, a lip-smacking roast, fried appetizers and more with these tender, meaty cuts. All this from the convenience of your home – delivered fresh to your doorstep through the Licious App or website. Now that’s what we call – Sunday Special show naale, Licious Mutton Thaan (Sunday Special Show means Licious Mutton only).

    Licious VP – brand Santosh Hegde said, “At Licious it is our constant endeavour to get closer to our consumers and delve deeper into their preferences & concerns. As much as we understand all things meat, understanding our consumers is just as imperative for us. Mutton is one of our core product offerings and a true sensorial indulgence, especially in Chennai, where ‘Sunday Specials’ are marked by mutton preparations starting right from breakfast through lunch and dinner. The sign of a blockbuster Sunday is enjoying back to back blockbusters on TV, accompanied by back to back mutton delicacies in varied preparations. And the right mutton is at the core of it all – tender, fresh and customized per the recipe it is meant for. The meaty & succulent mutton pieces, marked by the perfect blend of meat and fat for that rich taste, and fresh, premium quality mutton – are all the right ingredients that go into the making of a Blockbuster Sunday!”

    The brand’s dedication to offering premium quality mutton starts right from sourcing when it specifically selects young goats & lambs. The meat is rested for a minimum of 12 hours and evenly cut for an even cook & absorption of spices. Hygienically vacuum-packed and always stored in temperature-controlled environments between zero and four degrees Celsius, right up to your doorstep – these meaty delights from Licious are just what you need to cook up delicacies such as Mutton Kurma, Chukka, or kuzhambu. For a truly delightful meaty experience, the brand also offers a wide range of mutton parts (offals) as liver, heart, trotters and paya, that can be used right out of the pack to impart rich, intense flavors to lip-smacking preparations such as Liver Fry or Aatukaal Paya. The best part – these mutton parts/offals can be easily ordered through the Licious App all through the day, eliminating concerns of unavailability or limited stock. The brand recently launched these drool-inducing offerings with an equally interesting campaign film. The film depicts a regular Sunday in a Chennai household and how it turns into a blockbuster Sunday with the many mouth-watering mutton dishes being cooked at home. What makes the film more enjoyable is its music, which is a take on a popular, foot-tapping Ilaiyaraaja track from the 80s movie ‘Siva’.

  • Licious launches its latest campaign ‘Licious Sera Sunday’

    Licious launches its latest campaign ‘Licious Sera Sunday’

    Mumbai: Taking forward its commitment to enhance consumers’ experience with meat & seafood, Licious has launched its latest campaign ‘Licious Sera Sunday’, because ‘Sera Sunday maanei Licious er sera Mutton’, meaning ‘The ultimate (sera) Sunday calls for the ultimate (sera) Mutton by Licious’! The campaign celebrates the quintessential place that mutton holds in Bengali cuisine, and how a lip-smacking mutton dish is at the core of a well-spent, memorable Sunday. The film takes us inside a Bengali household on a Sunday, giving us a glimpse into how every family member’s Sunday plans revolve around the aromatic, delectable Mangshor Jhol being prepared for lunch. Catch the film on the brand’s YouTube and Insta pages and plan for your next sera Sunday on the Licious App or website.

    Licious VP – brand Santosh Hegde said: “While nobody understands meat & seafood as well as we at Licious do, we continually make efforts to better understand our consumers and their preferences. One of our core product offerings, mutton is a true sensorial indulgence, especially in Kolkata, where Sundays mean familial togetherness & bonding over that special mutton preparation. The sign of a great Sunday is the shared mutton lunch experience that lingers, influencing plans and conversations through the oncoming week. And it all starts with the right mutton – tender, fresh and customized per the recipe it is meant for. The perfect blend of meat and fat for that rich taste, meaty & succulent mutton pieces and fresh, premium quality mutton – are all the right ingredients that we offer for the making of a sera Sunday!”

    The film opens on a typical morning inside a Bengali household, when the marination of mutton is a clear giveaway that it’s a Sunday. As the film rightly points out – akta aladai byapar ache ajker robibare (there’s something different about this Sunday), we see members of the family, from the granddad to the grandson, getting enticed by the aromas arising from the kitchen. In an almost orchestrated fashion, all plans and activities for the day center around the Mangshor Jhol; like Rahul has abandoned the football ground for a ‘big’ reason calling dibs on a big juicy mutton piece as his mom lifts a piece on the ladle. As lunchtime approaches, the Mangshor Jhol, now with the mutton pieces & curry delicately arranged on a bed of rice, draws the family together in a delicious communion. With each bite, a sense of sheer delight and fulfillment takes over, reaffirming ‘shotti akta aladaaai byapar ache ajker robibare, karon Licious Mutton er shathe ei robibar ta hoyeche shobar sera”, meaning ‘truly there’s something different about this Sunday, because with Licious Mutton it has become next-level/the very best’.

    To cater to Bengali’s love for mutton, Licious has also launched 2 new offerings –  Mangshor Jhol Cut crafted from Kochi Patha which is just what you need for that lip-smackingly good Sunday mutton curry. In addition, the brand now also offers Kosha Mangsho cut, expertly crafted to make the Mangsho’r Jhols richer and tender.

  • Licious unites Ghotis & Bangals with meaty delights this Durga Pujo

    Licious unites Ghotis & Bangals with meaty delights this Durga Pujo

    Mumbai: The intra-community rivalry between the ghotis & bangals has made for some fun banter over the years. No family gathering in a traditional Bengali household is ever complete without members of each side striving to establish one-upmanship, be it on culture, language, sports or food. As this contest of words and wit ensues, this Durga Pujo, Licious brings peacetime & festive fervour with an extensive spread of meaty delights. In its latest film, the brand brings together the ghotis & bangals to celebrate the spirit of Pujo with Bengal’s best – Hilsa, prawn, mutton and much more! The film now live on Licious’ Insta and YouTube pages, showcases a chapter from the book of ghotis v/s bangals that ends at the dining table with a mouth-watering feast of kosha mangsho, malai curry, bhapa ilish, muitha, ilish bhaja and pabdar jhal.

    Licious VP brand Santosh Hegde said: “The Durga Pujo film underscores our belief that good food has the power to unite even the most spirited cultural rivalries. And there is no better way to celebrate the rich Bengali heritage than through its flavoursome cuisine. Armed with our expertise in meat & seafood, we have the leverage to offer specialized products & cuts to ensure our consumers have a memorable Pujo celebration. So whether you are a ghoti or a bangal, whether you prefer hilsa, prawn or mutton – Licious has you covered this Pujo!”

    The film is set in a bustling Bengali household, abuzz with vibrant decor and preps for Durga Pujo. The dinner table is being set with the choicest of dishes and meaty delights, right from ilish macher bhaja, muita, pabdar jhal, kochi pathar jhol and more. Just then the lady of the house gets teased by her ghoti relative on whether the spread today features bangal specialities or are there any ghoti delicacies as well. For the uninitiated, people originating from East Bengal (now Bangladesh) are referred to as ‘Bangal’ and those hailing from West Bengal are called ‘Ghoti’. With witty banter and humourous rejoinder, the debate continues in true Kobir Lorai style (a poetic volley of words between 2 people, set to a tune & aimed at outsmarting each other) as the lady and her ‘opponent’ continue to take a dig at each other’s cooking styles, choice of fish and more.

    The rhythmic beats of the dhak add to the tempo of this lorai; onlooking family members cheer on, at times even singing along. Who wins, you wonder; of course, the meaty delights by Licious do! Young family members intervene to remind that this isn’t the time to argue, but it’s the time to come together & enjoy the delightful spread that’s brought the family together, all thanks to Licious. Amidst laughter & marked by the festive spirit, the family rejoices with the delicious Pujor Mahabhoj made with Licious’ offerings for the season, forgetting all about their differences. After all, tasty meaty delights from Licious are what every ghoti and bangal would unanimously bond over this Pujo season.
