Do you remember the tiffin box you relished at school? Perhaps a three-tier one with rice, roti, and curry, or a plastic Looney Tunes-themed box neatly packed with sandwiches and crunchy wafers. Archana Doshi certainly remembers hers. “I used to carry these three-tier lunch boxes to school, which would have a rice dish — either rasam, sambar or mixed rice, then a curd rice and a poriyal,” says the founder of popular recipe and food platform, Archana’s Kitchen.
“My earliest tiffin memories are deeply intertwined with the love and care that my mother poured into preparing my school lunches. I fondly recall the aroma of freshly cooked meals wafting from the kitchen,” says Archana, who has dedicated her latest book Tasty Tiffin (HarperCollins India) to her mother.
