Our freeze-drying process removes the water content while keeping the texture and nutrition of your food intact. Just empty the pack into a bowl, add boiling water, and wait three minutes for a meal that tastes exactly like what you eat at home, whether you are in a dorm in the US or a flat in Germany. ### Your Taste of Home, Simplified When you are thousands of miles away, the last thing you want to deal with is a complicated cooking process or bland hostel food. Whether you are a student moving for the first time or a parent packing for your child, we make sure distance does not compromise your diet. ### How We Preserve Your Food We use a professional sublimation process that removes 95% to 97% of water from freshly cooked food. This isn't just drying; it locks in the authentic taste, nutrients, and texture for 6 to 9 months without any chemicals, preservatives, or palm oil. We use only sunflower oil and Amul butter, ensuring it is safe for everyone. ### Custom Solutions for Students * **Ready-to-Eat Range:** We have over 20+ varieties including Dal Makhani, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Veg Biryani. These are fully pre-cooked—just add hot water. * **Your Food, Our Tech:** If you want to take your specific homemade recipes, bring them to us. We will freeze-dry your mother's special sabji or dal so you can pack it easily in your luggage. * **Vacuum Packed Staples:** We provide industrial vacuum-sealed rotis and theplas. These are compressed to save 30% to 40% of your luggage space and stay fresh for 15 to 20 days. ### Travel & Logistics Our packets are lightweight, compact, and designed to lie flat in a suitcase. We label each package clearly to assist with customs checks, making your transition as smooth as possible. If you are ordering for the semester, we offer specialized bulk processing for batches over 20kg to help you manage your weight limits. ## About Desi Khana Hi, I'm Sheetal. I started this because I know exactly how hard it is to find pure vegetarian and Jain food while living abroad. We pack real, home-cooked meals so you can stop living on instant noodles and eat something that actually feels like home, no matter where you are.
