ENJOY AUTHENTIC INDIAN VEGETARIAN FOOD AT HOME
Our Story
My name is Puja Mehta, and Puja's is my small adventure into making authentic Indian cuisine more accessible to people..
​
Many people I know love Indian food, but they also think it is much too complicated to make at home. When I mentioned to my friends that they could easily make a healthy vegetarian meal at home in 30-35 minutes, they were excited to learn how.
That sparked the idea of creating a kit that would provide all of the spices and vegetables needed to make an authentic, healthy, vegetarian Indian meal at home.
I have taught Indian cooking classes for several years, so I am familiar with choosing specific meals that people will likely enjoy, and I know how to present Indian cooking in easy to follow steps.
It is also my belief that home-cooked food made using fresh, raw ingredients is the healthiest option for our overall wellbeing.
All of these factors inspired me to act on this blossoming idea and turn Indian Meal Kit into a reality. My husband, kids, and the loving friends who surround us were the inspiration behind launching this product.

Indian Meal Kit provides an opportunity for those who love Indian cuisine and want to easily explore cooking it at home.
​
In each kit you will find everything you need to make a healthy and delicious vegetarian meal for 2 or 4 people that can be prepared in 35 to 50 minutes. Most of the vegetables are washed and already cut up, spices are pre-measured, and easy to follow directions are provided.
With all the necessary ingredients at your fingertips and most of the prep work already done, you can make a healthy, delicious meal in a fraction of the time it takes to drive to a restaurant, be seated, order, and wait for your food. Indian meal kit is economical too! Four people can enjoy an authentic Indian dinner for about 1/3 the cost of eating at a restaurant.
