TIFFIN TALES: THE EVERYDAY ART OF INDIAN LUNCHBOXES

Every morning across India, an unsung ritual unfolds in millions of homes — the packing of the tiffin. From the soft clatter of steel dabbas to the aroma of freshly made parathas, chutneys, and sabzis, the tiffin box is more than a meal carrier — it's a vessel of care, nostalgia, and everyday art.

The Indian tiffin is an emotion. It connects generations, carries cultural identity, and reflects the rhythm of our busy lives. Whether it's a child opening their lunchbox at school or an office-goer taking that first bite of home-cooked dal-chawal, every tiffin tells a story — of love, effort, and tradition wrapped neatly between layers of roti and foil.

A LEGACY OF LAYERS

The iconic steel tiffin box — cylindrical, multi-tiered, and sturdy — has been part of Indian households for decades. Each compartment serves a purpose: one for roti, one for sabzi, one for rice, and sometimes, a surprise sweet. Its design, practical and timeless, mirrors India's love for balance and variety in food.
