The Story of Tiffin...

Updated: Oct 20, 2023

A Journey, from Colonial India to Modern Food Culture



The Origins of Tiffin


Tiffin, a term synonymous with light meals, snacks, or packed lunches, has its roots in colonial India. The word 'tiffin' likely comes from the British slang term "tiffing," meaning to take a sip. The British in India adopted the practice of having light meals or snacks between regular meals in the early 19th century.



The Evolution of Tiffin - THE DABBA


Tiffin carriers, known as "dabbas," became iconic. These stainless steel containers held an assortment of Tiffin dishes and made it convenient for office-goers, school children, and travellers to carry their meals.
