Moving abroad for studies is exciting, but food quickly becomes one of the biggest struggles for Indian students. Whether a student is going to the USA, Canada, UK, Australia or Europe for undergrad, Bachelor’s, Masters or MBA, adjusting to a new country is not always easy.
Between college classes, assignments, part-time jobs, laundry, cooking, grocery shopping and living alone, students often do not get time to cook fresh Indian food every day. For many students, especially vegetarians and Jain students, finding familiar food abroad can be difficult, expensive and repetitive.
This is why freeze-dried Indian food is one of the most practical options for students going abroad. It allows students to carry proper ghar ka khaana in a lightweight, ready-to-eat and travel-friendly form.
Freeze-dried food is different from regular snacks. It is not just namkeen, biscuits, khakhra or thepla. It can be real Indian meals like dal chawal, rajma chawal, chole chawal, dal makhani, arhar dal, poha, upma, paneer bhurji, pav bhaji, sabzi and kheer.
For Indian students living alone abroad, these easy meals can be a huge comfort. They do not need a pressure cooker, tawa, mixer, full kitchen setup or Indian grocery store nearby. They only need hot water and a few minutes.
At The Away Kitchen, we help students carry the comfort of home wherever they go. We freeze-dry vegetarian Indian food and also process customer-supplied homemade food. This means parents can send food cooked in their own kitchen, in their own taste, for their child studying abroad.
This is especially helpful for students who prefer vegetarian food, Jain food, no onion-garlic meals, less spicy food, homemade dal, simple sabzi or food cooked exactly the way they eat at home.
Some of the best Indian foods to carry abroad for students include dal makhani, arhar dal, rajma, chole, paneer bhurji, poha, upma, pav bhaji, kheer, dal chawal, rajma chawal and chole chawal. These meals are filling, familiar and easy to prepare.
Freeze-dried Indian food is useful for students during the first few weeks abroad, exam season, late-night study sessions, sick days, busy college days and homesick days. It is also useful for bachelors, working professionals and anyone living alone away from home.
For parents, sending freeze-dried ghar ka khaana is more than just packing food. It is a way to send comfort, care and familiarity with their child. For students, it is a simple way to eat real Indian food without depending on takeout, instant noodles or expensive restaurant meals.
If your child is travelling to the USA, Canada, UK or any other country for undergrad, Masters, MBA or work, book your freeze-drying slot with The Away Kitchen and let them carry their favourite homemade Indian meals wherever they go.
