We manufacture every meal ourselves, under one roof, in a 100% vegetarian facility in India. Real ingredients, slow-cooked, then freeze-dried. Here is exactly how it is made and how it is checked.
Our facility is not so different from a home kitchen, only much bigger. Grains, lentils and vegetables are slow-cooked with real spices, then freeze-dried to lock in the aroma, texture and nutrition, with no artificial flavours and no preservatives.
That is how a real home-style meal keeps for twelve months on a shelf, with no cold chain. The substitute for onion and garlic is asafoetida (hing), so our standard recipes are no onion, no garlic, suitable for Jain and sattvic kitchens, and we can customise recipes for your market.
Inside our freeze-drying operation, from loading the trays to the vacuum driers to packing the finished meals.
Real veg, lentils & whole spices
Cooked like home, no shortcut powders
Water removed at low temperature
Checked against spec, every batch
4-ply pouch, hermetically sealed
Light to ship, ambient, export-ready
Freeze-drying gently removes the water from a freshly cooked meal at low temperature, so the food keeps its nutrition, texture and taste. Add hot water and it comes back to life in five minutes. This is what gives every meal a 12-month shelf life with no preservatives and no cold chain.

We manufacture under strict Good Manufacturing Practices and a HACCP food-safety system, with integrated cleaning, sanitation and personal-hygiene controls across the facility.
Every batch is made and checked against a fixed spec, so taste and portion stay reliable, allowing for natural seasonal variation.
HACCP controls and GMP discipline across cooking, drying, filling and sealing.
