Is there any cooking involved?

No! Just follow our 3 step process:

1. Empty contents into a dish and add required quantity of boiling water (found on back of packet)

2. Mix well and cover with a lid for 5-10 minutes

How are these meals made?

Our meals are freshly cooked by expert Indian chefs and then freeze-dried (like your instant coffee!), a process which removes the air and moisture to keep meals fresh for months WITHOUT adding preservatives.

Excellent quality food

Been a regular purchaser from 5 minutes to Delhi and I’ve never been disappointed. Their food is of a consistently high quality and delivery is quick too!

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.

Quick and easy lunch for work

Normally I would just grab a meal deal or something for my lunch break at work, but not any more. Add the boiling water from the kettle, wait for 5 minutes, and a hot and tasty lunch is sorted. Now even my work colleagues keep asking to taste it because the smells are just too good

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.
