The Modern Tiffin

“Traditionally, a tiffin is a two- or three-layered, stacked steel lunch box intended to separate each component of a meal. So you can have your rice or chapati in the first layer, a vegetable masala dish in the second, and a daal (stewed lentils) in the third layer. The concept helps retain the integrity of each dish and helps in maintaining how Indian food is traditionally eaten - each component separate, not mashed up together in a bowl.”
