The office tiffin

Travels in a steel dabba without making a mess. Tastes like Ba sent it.

Microwave, mug, done. The taste of home, 7,000 km away.

How to heat

Two ways. Either is foolproof.

Heat & eat — the way mum would, in minutes. Pick your way:

  1. 1

    Boil the water

    Half-fill a pot and bring it to a proper rolling boil.

    a rolling boil — don’t rush it
    3 min
  2. 2

    Drop the pouch in

    The sealed pouch goes straight into the boiling water.

    no tearing, no mess
    4 min
  3. 3

    Snip, pour, serve

    Lift it out with tongs, snip the notch and pour onto a plate.

    and it plates itself
    30 sec
pro tip No washing up — the pouch is your saucepan.

Also works on a tava with ghee, an induction plate, even an open-fire chulha.

Serve hot with phulka, jeera rice or a wedge of lemon.

"Better than the dhaba version."

I've had desi chana at dozens of dhabas and this is right up there. The masala is robust without being overwhelming. Pairs perfectly with bhatura.

"Saves my evenings."

After a long workday, this is what dinner looks like — heat, toss some onion on top, done. My husband thinks I cooked it fresh every time.

"Solid chana, no shortcuts."

No tinny aftertaste, no over-processed texture. The chickpeas have a bite to them and the gravy coats them well. Good stuff.

"Hearty and filling"

Good kala chana, robust gravy. I wanted slightly more heat but a pinch of chilli sorted it. Great with rice.

"My office lunch fix"

Microwave at 1pm, eat with two rotis, done. Keeps me full till evening. Tastes proper home-style.

Questions, answered

Five things people ask.

Correct. Our retort pouch is sterilized at 121°C and sealed under nitrogen — the same technology the Indian army and ISRO use. Store at room temperature for 12 months. Refrigerate only after opening.

12 months from the manufacture date printed on the back of the pouch. Once opened

We won't say identical — fresh is fresh. But blind tastings put us within 90% of fresh undhiyu. The muthia is the trickiest part

Yes — fully sealed retort pouches are allowed in checked baggage internationally. Many of our NRI customers do exactly this.

Yes — we ship internationally all over the world. Please contact us on WhatsApp at 8238899993 for shipping rates and more info.
