Meals

Our meals are curated by expert chefs across India who specialize in regional cuisines. The recipes are prepped and packed by our local teams in India using our state-of-the-art freeze drying and dry roasting processes in our FDA compliant facilities. Learn more about how we make our meals here.

Quality is our #1 priority! We have rigorous standards that our entire team follows starting with our FDA compliant facility and regular kitchen audits to taking every piece of customer feedback seriously. Our Quality Control Team ensures that all of our meals meet a high quality standard.

Inspired by the way our ancestors used to dry their food in the sun to make them last longer, our state-of-the-art freeze-drying and dry roasting system is able to retain the flavors and nutrition of our dishes without using any preservatives or chemicals. Meals are all-natural and made with clean ingredients that you would find in your kitchen like whole grains, lentils, and spices.

The art and the science behind our 5-minute meals

Yes, they are! Our innovative preservation techniques keep the nutrition benefits of the dishes intact without using any preservatives or chemicals. You can find all the nutritional information of each of our dishes when you click on the image of the dish in the plan selection process. Almost all our dishes are gluten-free and we have over 10+ vegan dishes so you can find what you love.

With over 30+ dishes from 6 regions of India, our menu gives you a wide variety of dishes to try! Each dish is labeled with where it originates from (e.g. Taste of Delhi) so you can easily fill your box from dishes across India.

Many of our customers choose to customize their meals by adding additional proteins like chicken/tofu/eggs or boosting the health benefits by adding in more leafy greens or veggies so it works for you.

Let's start by debunking the myth that all Indian food is spicy. It's not! Spice levels vary based on region and type of dish and our menu has options from mild to spicy based on what you're looking for. All of our meals have spice levels in the descriptions and you can filter by spice level as well!

Our meals stay fresh for at least 4 weeks in your pantry (but often times even longer!) at room temperature from the time you receive them. Check the Best Before date on the back of each packaging for the most accurate information. Since our meals are made with all-natural ingredients only with zero preservatives they will have a shorter shelf life than other heavily processed foods.

Our meals are easy to make, and only need 5ish minutes of your effort. Each dish might have slightly different directions, but our typical instructions look like the below:

Empty pack's contents into a bowl, add hot water from a kettle, close the lid and wait for a few minutes.
or
Empty pack's contents on a pan and let it heat up for a few minutes.
or
Empty pack's content into an InstantPot, add water and pressure cook for a few minutes.
or
Empty pack's content into a bowl, add water and microwave for a few minutes.

Our meal kits are 100% vegetarian and some of them vegan. The vegan dishes are marked as such on our menu page. Our meal kits are versatile - some customers improvise by adding their own sauteed meat during the prep.

As of January 1st, 2023, meals do not come with complimentary sides. We heard from many customers that they do not consume the sides that the mains come with due to preferences or dietary restrictions. With our goals of sustainability and reducing food waste, we decided not to send sides with main dishes starting January 1st, 2023. However, customers are still able to purchase sides separately if they need them. Read more here.

Please log-in to your account and then head to "Subscriptions." Click "Change My Meals" and make any changes to your main dishes. Once your main dishes are selected and in your cart, you will see the sides as an option in the cart and can select as many as your need.

If you need more information such as ingredients, nutrition facts, etc for different sides, feel free to reach out to us on chat / email us at hello@thecuminclub.com

In order to make the choosing of sides easy, we now recommend sides from within the cart based on the mains you've selected. The quantity of sides is calculated to ensure there's sufficient sides for all the mains selected.
