We do!! We make everything from scratch starting with the freshest ingredients, fair-trade spices from Diaspora Co., and dehydrate it ourselves. We make everything in small batches, made to order.

Our food is packaged in a way that is intended to achieve a long shelf life for years. However, we use recommended 'best by' dates within the 3-month to 6-month range to offer optimal taste. The expiration date of each meal is posted on the packaging.

For the Punjabi Rajma, Moong Masoor Dhal, and Amritsari Chole, simply add boiling water to the bag in the amount specified. The Mango Lassi Fruit Leather and Pinni are ready-to-eat! No prep needed.

We do not use any gluten or soy ingredients, and only our Pinni uses dairy. We do however cook out of a shared kitchen where there is gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy present. We clean and sanitize surfaces and equipment before use but we cannot guarantee that there will be no cross contamination.

All of our offerings, with the exception of our beloved Pinni, is vegan. That means we use no dairy or animal products in the ingredients. Our Pinni is vegetarian. We do, however, use a shared kitchen that comes in contact with dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, and other meat products.
