COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Best enjoyed heated, the top tin (Aloo, Gobi & Peas) should be heated along with the rest of your dabba. Please ensure you remove the lid from the top tin, as this may expand in the oven and become difficult to remove! We recommend covering the food in the top tin while cooking, to do this, place the lid upside-down on the dish. 

OVEN HEATING:

Our recommended heating method is the oven at 180c until piping hot (usually around 30-40 minutes). To avoid any of the dishes crisping up on the surface, we recommend leaving your tiffin stacked as it is when you place it in the oven.

If you don't have the room to do this in your oven, then we recommend stacking the top tin on the curry and the dal tin on the rice, placed onto a roasting tray. This will prevent your rice from getting crispy on top. We also add a few drops of tap water to our rice before cooking, to ensure the moisture stays locked in.

Please remember to stir the curry and the Pindi Chole occasionally throughout the cooking process (for an even heat) and be careful when dishing up from the hot tins!

IN YOUR DABBA:

Gobi Manchurian: Oil / ginger/ garlic/ green chilli/ CELERY/ spring onions/ SOY/ ketchup/ vinegar/ pepper/ salt/ cornflour

Schezwan-Style Green Bean & Omnipork Stir Fry: Beans/ OMNIOPORK/ dry chilli/ PEANUTS/ schezwan pepper/ onion/ ginger/ garlic/ CELERY/ SOY/ SESAME/ cornflour

Our ingredients change from time to time, so please always check before eating.

 

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.

OVEN HEATING:

Our recommended heating method is the oven at 180c until piping hot (usually around 30-40 minutes). 

Top Tin: We love our Gobi Manchurian crisped up, if you do too, don't heat it with the lid on but steamed is just as delicious so leave the lid on if you prefer it that way :)

Omni Pork: You may also prefer the beans and tofu dish a little crisped up (as we do), so leave uncovered when you heat these. 
 
Black Bean sauce: This has been thickened with cornflour, as is traditional, so can look a bit thick. However on heating, it should turn saucy. Please remember to stir the black bean sauce occasionally throughout the cooking process. 
 
Rice: We add a few drops of water to our rice before cooking, to ensure the moisture stays locked in, and then place another tin on top, so it steams (in this case, the black bean sauce.)

 

Roti and Naan

To ensure your breads don't crisp up, we recommend just 2 minutes in the 180c oven. They can both be enjoyed as they are, but they’re even better when warmed through.

Samosas, Spring Rolls and Katsu

We recommend at least 10 minutes in the 180c oven to ensure they are crisp and piping hot.
