Food Review: The Organic Lunchbox

Two cheery yellow and orange boxes stood on our desk one afternoon last week. Ah. Food. That too 97 per cent organic, as claimed by those who had sent it, The Organic Lunchbox.

The spread included two salads, dal, a moong usal, dry bhindi and paneer capsicum. Two types of rotis — chapatis and methi theplas — and rice. And for dessert — chunks of apple sprinkled with almond slivers and dudhi halwa.

The dishes that stood out were usal, paneer capsicum, theplas and the halwa. And almond shavings were a clever way of sexing up apple chunks.

For the price (Rs 150-200) though, they should include lemon juice or chhaas, which other dabba providers do. But in this humming city where every second worker bee is gastrically challenged, the more home-style food options, the better.
