Just heat ‘n’ eat! The Ready-to-Eat Trend Gains Momentum in India

Walk into any supermarket and grocery store in urban India and you’ll find a huge line up of Ready-to-Eat brands jostling for attention. Dominated by Mavalli Tiffin Room (MTR), GITS Food Products, Indian Tobacco Company (ITC), Kohinoor Foods and Priya Foods, the shelves offer Palak Paneer, Dal Makhani, Butter Chicken, Gravies, Matar Paneer, Punjabi Chhole, Punjabi Kadhi, Rajma Masala… the list of dishes goes on.

The popularity of such products is only natural. They offer convenience and variety. They save time and energy – elements of great value in contemporary India with its changing lifestyle, growing urbanization, increase in nuclear families and rise in disposable income. What’s more, they taste as good as home cooking and have long shelf life. They can even be ordered online.
