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.

Very Tasty

Quick and easy, ready in second. I take them to work and add chicken thighs for an excellent lunch.

Amazing authentic flavours

Took this for a recent holiday as we are vegetarians and prefer familiar foods. The dal makhani and veg Biryani were bang on point with respect to the taste and textures. Would love to try out their other products soon. Hope to see these products available easily on shelves of local supermarkets

Recent purchase

We were greatly surprised by how good these meals tasted. I would say that they are really authentic to original food, and taste home made. We thought that it may have been a gimmick approach but I can genuinely state that the foods we had were very good.

Love it, much better than expected

I didn't expect to like this (and all the other dishes) because of my 'western' palate and taste I thought it wouldn't suit me. I was wrong! They are all delicious and simple to prepare, added bonus of no nasty preservatives. I love cooking curries fresh and from scratch but it's finding the time. This is where 5minutes to Dheli dishes come in. Will be ordering more soon :-)

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.
