At the heart of Healthy Tiffin is not just the concept of eating healthy but immersing in the authentic joy of traditional Indian cuisine. Every meal we serve is a festivity of culture, health, and sustainability. Your health is our paramount concern. We meticulously balance each meal to fulfill daily nutritional needs—protein, vegetables, healthy carbs, fiber, good fats, and probiotics, all while keeping the calorie count between 450 to 650 per serving. Drawing from the time-honored cooking techniques our ancestors passed down through generations, we strive to evoke a sense of authenticity and nostalgia with our meals.

Our approach is a tribute to the diverse and vibrant flavors of India, carefully maintaining the authenticity of each dish while adapting them to fit a health-conscious lifestyle. This means we consciously avoid the excessive use of oil and spices that can overshadow the natural taste and nutritional value of the ingredients.

For majority, we do not use nuts in our food with the exception of couple of curries. It is  marked on our menu whenever used. **Please email us before ordering to ensure your dietary restrictions are met.  We do top our raita with healthy seeds like flaxseed, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, poppy and sesame for added dose of nutrition. Please email us to know more details of any specific item on menu before ordering,

We do not use any refined oils. We have no fryers. We only use organic cold pressed coconut oil, olive oil, cold pressed organic mustard oil and ghee. 

Most of our desserts are naturally sweetened by the fruit or with addition of medjool dates.  We use only low glycemic maple syrup and khand/unprocessed jaggery (without sulphites)  in extreme moderation to add sweetness with much needed iron and satiation

Following ayurvedic principles we strive to source local in season organic or non-gmo produce. This not only helps in delivering food that's as close to its natural state and in the ripest form (maximizing nutrition) but also reduces our carbon footprint, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. 

At HT we believe ones emotions pass into the food they cook. Our team does a small prayer before we begin cooking and we listen to spiritual music all day. Cooking is a spiritual journey and a huge responsibility to serve the community with food that blesses their body and soul. After all food is the primary medicine. We take our time and cook food on low to medium flame to ensure the nutrition and integrity of ingredients is maintained, just like Indian mom's never compromised on cooking techniques to maximize nutrition for their family.

Moreover, we steer clear of microwaves, freezers, and fryers, emphasizing the importance of freshness and natural flavors. By avoiding these appliances, we ensure that the food retains its nutritional profile and taste, just as it would in a traditional Indian kitchen. This not only helps in delivering food that's as close to its natural state as possible but also reduces our carbon footprint, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

Healthy Tiffin's philosophy extends beyond just serving healthy meals; it's about reviving the traditional eating habits of India, where food was not just consumed for sustenance but celebrated for its diversity, taste, and nutritional value. Our menu is a reflection of this philosophy, offering a variety of dishes from different regions of India, each with its unique flavors and health benefits, wrapped in a box that brings a sense of comfort and nostalgia to the modern dining table. 

In essence, Healthy Tiffin is not just about eating healthy; it's about experiencing the joy of traditional Indian cuisine in its most authentic and nutritious form, making every meal a celebration of culture, health, and sustainability.

• Local organic or non-genetically modified produce and pantry
• Fresh food homestyle ( no freezers, no reheating)
• No fryers. According to Ayurveda, 'Fatty fried food' aggravates all three doshas and biocharacteristics
• Only low glycemic khand/jaggery, maple syrup and honey used as sweeteners in moderation. According to Ayurveda refined sugar upsets all three doshas (vata, pitta and kapha) and can cause the formation of āma. 
• Slow cook on low to medium heat (no microwave)
• Delivered same day within 3 hours. According to Ayurveda, food should be consumed at most on the same day. We also deliver before 7.30 pm to encourage early eating and space time between dinner and sleep.
• No leftovers, menu changes daily. Leftover food is considered Tamasic (mode of ignorance) in Ayurveda and hence, its consumption can make you lazy and lethargic. Ever wonder why we need coffee or tea to get the day going?
• Steel Tiffins and ECO plant based containers ( reduce carbon footprint and risk of health hazard with long term use of plastic containers)
• Healthy seeds, amla, herbs, spices and many other ayurvedic recommended products used to add health benefits in our daily tiffins.
