About JivaFresh

Homecooking,withoutthethreehours

JivaFresh makes Indian meals you finish in the microwave. We cook them, dry them, and leave the last step to you.

  • Cooked first
  • Dried gently
  • Sealed fresh
  • Just add water
  • Tastes like home

Why we started

A bowl of dal makhani
  1. Real dal makhani, rajma or chole takes one to three hours to cook.

  2. So people who live alone, travel or work long hours settle for junk.

  3. And instant food online looks like a grocery aisle. Nobody explains how dried food keeps its taste, so nobody trusts it.

Jiva means life. Add water, give it 7 minutes in the microwave and the food comes back to life. That is the whole idea behind the name.

The life of a pack

From our pot to yours, in five steps.

  1. A bowl of cooked dal makhani

    Cooked

    Every dish is cooked fully first, the way it is at home.

  2. Dry whole urad, before cooking water goes back in

    Dried

    Then it is dried gently. The water goes, the taste stays.

  3. A sealed JivaFresh pack of dal makhani

    Sealed

    Each meal is sealed in its own pack. No fridge, no preservatives.

  4. A pot of water on a camp stove

    Shipped

    Light packs travel to your hostel, office, home or base camp.

  5. Dal makhani ready to eat

    Rehydrated

    In your kitchen: water, 7 minutes in the microwave, a taste of home.

What we hold on to

  • Cook it first, then dry it.

    Each dish is made in full, like at home, before the water comes out.

  • Water out is the preservative.

    Drying is what keeps a pack good for 9 to 18 months. Nothing else goes in to do that job.

  • Every pack tells you everything.

    Net weight, servings, shelf life, veg label and rehydration time, on every product. Prices include GST.

  • Homely, never preachy.

    Food you grew up with, made easy. We will not lecture you about health.

Just add water. Home-style taste.
