Very tasty

Very quick to prepare and very tasty, was enough for two portions.

A substantial lunch for one or side to accompany a main meal for 1-2. It’s fragrant, quite hot too, left quite the tingle. The texture of the flattened rice is unusual and has a pleasant mouth feel like orzo. However it took a lot longer than five minutes to cook enough to not be crunchy and I even popped it in the microwave at the end to finish it off. It’s nice but not delicious. It would be very handy as camping food actually.

Perfect for lunch at work!

I ordered the rice, dals and poha and it was so convenient to carry in my work bag and have it during lunch. The portion size was perfect and it took me no time to prepare it.
It’s sooo much better than the cold sandwiches I used to get, and tastes amazing too.

Too Salty

We wrote to your company a few weeks ago, the dishes are authentic Indian but are still too salty for taste and bad for your health. If they can be a bit less generous with the amount of salt they use, the dishes will be worth 5*!
The best results are achieved with 2 minutes in the microwave , with required amount of water.

Let me know when they can change the amount of salt, won’t be worth the trouble otherwise.

How We Do It

FAQS

What about storage and shelf life?

No need to store in the fridge or freezer – just keep them in your cupboard or draw,, out of direct sunlight. Each meal stays fresh for at least a couple of months from time of purchase (best before date found on back of each packet) so you don’t have to worry!

Where are these meals made?

Each dish is freshly prepared in India following traditional, authentic recipes while adhering to rigorous food, hygiene and safety protocols. This is how we guarantee both authenticity of flavour as well as the safety and quality of our food.

What about food hygiene practies and safety?

Our freeze-drying process is followed as per the Food Safety Management System by Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and also the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the UK, our storage facility received a Food and Hygiene rating of 5, the highest possible award for food hygiene issued by a local council.

Do they contain preservatives?

NO! Freeze-drying technology allows us to use natural ingredients WITHOUT losing the taste, freshness and quality of your meals. This is the same technology that NASA use to keep food fresh when sending astronauts into space, and the same process by which instant coffee is produced to maintain its freshness.

What are freeze-dried foods?

Freeze-dried foods are simply foods that have been dehydrated via a process called lyophilization, meaning the water moisture is removed from the food WITHOUT turning it into a liquid - unlike conventional dehydration where foods are HEATED to remove the water. This is a summary of the process:

  1. Meals are freshly cooked by expert chefs and placed on trays in freeze-drying machine
  2. Food is frozen, and then a vacuum activates which causes the ice to change directly from a solid to a vapor, without becoming a liquid
  3. Food undergoes a secondary drying known as ‘desorption drying’, which dries the products to their desired humidity by removing the remaining bound water.
