About Tiffins

Tiffins are a traditional meal pack originating from South Indian and Tamil cuisine, often enjoyed as breakfast or a light meal. Typically consisting of dishes like idlis (steamed rice cakes), dosas (fermented rice and lentil crepes), pongal (savory rice porridge), and sambhar (lentil and vegetable stew), Tiffins emphasize wholesome, plant-based ingredients. Rich in complex carbohydrates, protein from lentils, and fiber from vegetables, they offer balanced energy and support digestion, especially when paired with coconut chutney or fresh greens. The fermentation process used in some Tiffin components aids gut health by promoting probiotics. However, nutritional aspects vary depending on preparation; fried variations like vadas or excessive oil use can add saturated fats, and high portions of ghee may increase calories. Tiffins embody the vibrant, health-conscious essence of South Indian culinary traditions while offering room for customized, nutritious adaptations.
