Measure
Every order ships with a Naanke measuring cup. Each meal prints its own water quantity on the back of the pouch. Fill the cup to that number. That is the only measuring you will do.
2
Boil and pour
Bring that water to a rolling boil. Pour it over the mix, stir once, cover tightly. Hardest part done.
3
Ten minutes
Set a timer, step away, make tea. Uncover, stir, eat. Nothing to wash up but a bowl.
The measuring cup comes in every order. Every pouch prints its own water quantity, so you never guess.

Proof, not claims
What people say after the first bowl
Early tasters, in their own words.
I tried two of the four samples you sent and they were delicious. To my surprise, they did not taste like rehydrated food at all. I should probably order your whole menu. I want more.
Andrew BartonFMCG Importer, Australia
Loved your idli sambhar and paneer rice, it was amazing. You should have done this before I went to America. I struggled so much.
Aashi MorakhiaFrequent traveller, Mumbai
I had the paneer last night. The taste is definitely there, and I sense you have a winner on your hands. It is a meal on the go, and I think you are on to something.
James LaffertyVeteran FMCG CEO, P&G and Coca-Cola
The meals came in really handy on our trip, especially one night when we were in a clutch. Amazing product. Keep developing, keep pushing.
Ashwin BhadriCEO, Equinox Labs (food-safety testing)
Good to know
Questions, answered
How long does it actually take?
Ten minutes from boiling water to a hot bowl. Fill the measuring cup to the quantity printed on the back of your pouch, bring that water to a rolling boil, pour it over the mix, stir five or six times, cover, and wait ten minutes.
Do I need a kitchen?
You need boiling water and a bowl. A kettle is enough. No pan, no stove time, no fridge, no freezer.
What is in the box?
One pouch is one complete meal, one serving. Every order also carries the Naanke measuring cup, so you never guess the water.
Is it really 100% vegetarian?
Yes, every meal, with no exceptions.
How long does it keep?
12 months from manufacturing in a sealed pouch, stored in a cool dry place. No refrigeration at any point before you open it.
