Tiffin Service

My kitchen in Janakpuri is where everything happens every single day. I started this Tiffin Service because I was already cooking for my family and figured I could make some extra for the people living nearby who don't have time to cook for themselves. It's just me and one helper mainly. We spend the whole morning chopping vegetables and getting the dal ready on the big stove. The boxes are stacked up by noon. We mostly serve the Janakpuri area since that's where we are located and it's easier to deliver the food while it is still warm. It’s not a big restaurant or anything like that. Just home-style meals packed in containers depending on what the customer wants. Some days the salt might be a bit more or less because we do it all by hand without any machines. We don't have a big menu, just whatever is fresh at the market that morning. I think people like that it feels like home food instead of restaurant grease. The delivery guy picks them up on his cycle and goes around the blocks. It’s a lot of work and my back usually hurts by the end of the day. But seeing the empty tins come back feels okay. We’ve been doing this for a couple of years now from our home base here in Janakpuri. No big goals, just feeding people lunch and dinner every day. We don't do marketing, just word of mouth from neighbors. Sometimes we get too many orders.
