What doesn't change
The Dal Roti Sabzi Tiffin Menu, Explained
The weekly chart tells you the dal and the sabzi. These parts come with every meal, whatever the day.
- 4 rotisRolled close to packing time. Ask if you need more.
- DalDifferent at lunch and dinner, cooked thick with a simple tadka.
- SabziDry or with gravy, depending on the dal it sits next to.
- RiceSteamed, or jeera rice on some days.
- SaladOnion, cucumber and lemon. Pickle and papad on khichdi night.
Chhole Puri for Lunch, Paneer for Dinner
Weekdays are about simple food. On Sunday the kitchen fries puris for lunch and makes a richer dinner, because that's what Sunday tastes like in most Bhopal homes.
- Chhole
- Puri
- Boondi raita
- Paneer do pyaza
- Dal makhani
Paneer on Weekends, Khichdi on Saturday Night
Paneer appears on Friday and Sunday dinner. Saturday night is dal khichdi with kadhi, papad and pickle, which gives your stomach a light meal before the Sunday menu.
- Friday: matar paneer
- Saturday: khichdi
- Sunday: paneer do pyaza
Through the year
How Seasonal Vegetables Change the Menu
The dals stay put all year. The vegetables next to them move with the season, because a lauki in May tastes far better than a lauki in January. This is roughly how the year goes.
Cold months
Nov – FebGreen leafy vegetables are at their best. Palak, methi and matar show up more often, and gobhi replaces a couple of summer vegetables.
- Palak
- Methi
- Matar
- Gobhi
- Gajar
Hot months
Mar – JunBhopal summers are harsh, so the food gets lighter. More lauki, tinda and turai, thinner dal, and khichdi days feel welcome.
- Lauki
- Tinda
- Turai
- Kaddu
- Moong dal
Rainy months
Jul – OctLeafy greens are harder to clean well in the rains, so we use fewer of them. Dry sabzi, kadhi and well-cooked dal take their place.
- Arbi
- Parwal
- Bhindi
- Kadhi
- Chana dal
Balanced home food
Why the Menu Looks Plain on Paper
You won't find butter chicken gravy or cheese-loaded anything here. A tiffin you eat sixty times a month has to be food your body is happy with, so each meal pairs a protein-rich dal with one vegetable, a measured amount of oil and enough roti and rice to keep you full until the next meal.
That is also why lunch and dinner are never the same. If lunch has a gravy sabzi, dinner gets a dry one. If lunch has a heavy dal like rajma, dinner gets a lighter masoor or moong.

FAQs
Questions People Ask About the Menu
Is lunch different from dinner on the same day?
Always. Each day has one dal and sabzi for lunch and a different pair for dinner. On Monday, for example, lunch is chana dal with lauki and dinner is moong dal with mix veg.
When is paneer served?
Paneer comes at Friday dinner and Sunday dinner. Keeping it to two meals a week means it still feels like a treat.
What is served on Sunday?
Sunday lunch is chhole with puri and boondi raita. Sunday dinner is paneer do pyaza with dal makhani and pulao.
Is the food light enough to eat every day?
Yes, that is the whole point. Oil is used carefully, mirchi is kept medium and there is no food colour. People who eat with us for months say their stomach feels settled compared to canteen food.
Can I ask for less spice or no onion?
Tell us when you join. Less mirchi or less salt is easy. For other requests, such as no onion, ask us first and we will tell you honestly what is possible on each day of the week.
How many rotis come with each meal?
Four rotis, along with rice and salad. Extra rotis can be added if you tell us in advance.
How will I know if the menu changes?
Seasonal changes are shared on WhatsApp with monthly customers before they happen. You can also message +91 95841 14377 any day to ask what is coming tomorrow.
