Monday
Aloo gobhi, arhar dal, jeera rice
Mix veg, moong dal, phulka
Every tiffin is built on the same base: soft phulkas, dal, rice and salad. What changes is the sabzi, the dal and the Sunday special. Here is our home-style thali menu for the week, with lunch and dinner kept different so you are never eating the same thing twice in a day.
Plus phulka, rice and salad with every meal.
Today is highlighted for you. Vegetables can change with what's fresh in the market that morning, but the pattern stays the same.

Whatever the day, these come in every lunch and dinner. The menu above only tells you which sabzi and dal to expect.
Six days of simple home food earn a better Sunday. The special rotates between a few favourites, and dal bafla on Sunday is the one people ask about the most.
On the non-veg plan, two days every month swap the regular sabzi for a non-veg dish. Phulka, rice and salad stay the same. We share the dates in advance on WhatsApp, and the veg plan is never affected.
We cook with what the season brings, because that's when vegetables are freshest and taste best. Here is roughly how the menu shifts.
The best time for greens. Expect more sarson, methi, palak, gajar, matar and gobhi, and slightly heavier dal.
Lighter food for hot days. More lauki, tinda, turai and kaddu, thinner dal and less heavy gravy.
Well-cooked, easy-to-digest meals. Fewer leafy greens, more dal, kadhi and dry sabzi.
The menu reads like home food because it is cooked like home food. Oil is measured, mirchi is kept medium and there is no food colour. Paneer shows up about twice a week, including Sunday, so it stays a treat.
Lunch and dinner on the same day are always different. If you need less salt or less spice, or you don't eat a particular vegetable, tell us when you join and we will do our best to work around it.
Veg ₹3,600 or non-veg ₹4,000 a month. Lunch and dinner, Sunday special and delivery included.
The weekly pattern stays roughly the same so the kitchen can plan well, but the vegetables change with the season. So a Monday in December won't taste like a Monday in May.
Sunday is the special day. Lunch is usually dal bafla or puri chhole, and dinner is something like paneer sabzi with pulao and a sweet. It is included in both plans.
Paneer usually comes about twice a week, including the Sunday special. We keep it a treat rather than an everyday dish.
On the non-veg plan, two days in the month come with a non-veg dish in place of the regular sabzi. The rest of the tiffin stays the same. We share those dates in advance on WhatsApp.
No. We cook the way a Bhopal home cooks on a weekday: measured oil, medium spice and no food colour. If you need less salt or less mirchi, tell us once.
Tell us which dish you avoid when you join. We will try our best to work around it, and if we can't on a given day, we will let you know in advance.
