Good homely taste!

I just bought their packets for the entire month. I'm happy with all the curry options. I love that it has no preservatives and taste is same as you eat at home. A couple of curries were spicier than what I eat but putting few drops of lemon juice evened it out!

Brilliant for lunch or dinner - amazing flavours!

I really love the subtle coconut flavours in this dish - it really adds another layer that makes it so tasty. I’m trying to stop eating meal deals at work so had this for lunch - boiling water, 5 minutes and done.

Delicious and excellent value

So glad I found these, I have tried a few and they. are so tasty, spicy, flavoursome and filling. Great price and perfect on their own or for a larger meal I just add some veggies and rice. Perfect!

The best!

I cannot believe how tasty and convenient these dishes are. This is by far the most authentic Indian food I have tasted. My favourites are all the Dahls but they are all amazing. I can’t recommend these highly enough.

Jeers Rice

So very tasty. Easy to prepare and flavoursome.

Julie Cooper
Jeera Rice (Vegan) Instant Meal | Ready to Eat in Minutes
Delicious and authentic

I used this bundle for a “tapas” style platter when having guests over so we could all try a variety of curries. They were each delicious. Much better than attempting myself or ordering a takeaway. The food was authentic, tasting just like my Pakistani friends cooking, and not greasy like you’d get with a take away. Love the easy transport for lunches at work too!

Curry Bundle (Vegan)
Tried one so far... Very good

I bought the bundle plus a few others based on really encouraging feedback. Curious, I suppose. We cook curries from scratch at least twice a week, I thought it might be nice to have a few easy side dishes. Shared the potato and pea curry alongside a plate of 3 homemade dishes and I'd not have picked it out as the 'poor cousin.. It was blummn' tasty and I was very impressed. Really good. If you are camping or cycling or holidaying where weight/bulk is an issue, these dishes I suggest could be really handy. And tasty.

Would buy again

This is very tasty and just the right amount of heat for me. I would add a bit more water next time as I prefer a thinner consistency dal .

Authentic food at home!

I’m a huge fan of 5 minutes to Delhi. The quality of the food across the entire range is outstanding. Full of flavour and as good as anything you will find in a high end Indian restaurant…but for a fraction of the price. I regularly keep my cupboard stocked with 5 minutes to Delhi!

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.
