Pure Veg & Jain Food for Travel
Finding safe vegetarian food when travelling abroad used to be a struggle. We take your home-cooked meals or offer our own, freeze-dry them to remove moisture, and pack them so they stay fresh for months. No preservatives, just pure ghar ka swaad.
For our pure veg and Jain-friendly customers, we offer a variety of sabzis, dals, and even sweets. We also provide vacuum packing for khakhras and theplas.
We offer over 20 freeze-dried products, including many Jain options like Bhindi Masala and Paneer Tikka Masala. We can also dry your own homemade Jain food.
As an ex-air hostess and a Jain, I faced great difficulty finding pure vegetarian food while traveling. This personal struggle inspired me to start Desi Khana.
Attention Jain and vegetarian travelers. This video shows how we cater specifically to your dietary needs, ensuring you have safe and delicious food on your trips.
We freeze-dry fresh mint leaves, which can be used by our Jain customers during Paryushan and Tithi. It's also great for smoothies.

About Jain & Pure Veg: Food Without Compromise
When you travel with our freeze-dried meals, you are not carrying heavy jars or worrying about expiry dates. We use a sublimation process to remove 97% of water content, which means the food remains shelf-stable for up to 9 months at room temperature. You only need to add hot water, wait three minutes, and your meal is ready—no microwave, no stove, and definitely no hidden preservatives.
Your Diet, Your Rules
As a Jain myself, I know the anxiety of landing in a foreign country and wondering if you will find food that fits your dietary restrictions. My journey began with simple theplas and Maggi, but today, we provide a reliable solution for thousands who refuse to compromise on their beliefs while away from home.
How The Process Works
Whether you bring your own signature dish or order from our menu, our process is identical. We spread your food on trays, freeze-dry it, and remove moisture. This prevents bacterial growth entirely without needing chemicals or palm oil. You get the same taste and nutrition as the day it was cooked.
Travel Logic & Space Saving
We understand suitcase space is precious. Our vacuum-sealed rotis and theplas are compressed, saving 30-40% of your luggage space. For the meals, we pack them in 3-layer metallised food-grade pouches that are flight-safe. They lie flat, making them easy to stack alongside your clothes.
Beyond Full Meals
Need specific ingredients? We also freeze-dry fresh herbs like mint or coriander, perfect for maintaining your kitchen habits during Paryushan or specific Tithi days. It is about keeping your food traditions intact, no matter the time zone.
If you want to send a box of homemade meals to your child studying abroad or need food for your next family vacation, reach out. We ensure your food travels as safely as you do.
Desi Khana
I started Desi Khana because I was tired of relying on instant noodles during my time as an air hostess. Now, I help students and families carry the comfort of home-cooked meals across the globe. My team and I ensure every packet is prepared with the same care I would use for my own kitchen.
