Convenient Homestyle Indian Dishes

These Café Spice Dishes are Delicious and Made in Small Batches

The grab 'n' go food market is experiencing exponential growth as consumers seek out a way to eat while they go about their daily routine, so these Café Spice dishes are here to satisfy this demand. Set to launch in early 2018, the meals are inspired by classic Indian dishes that have a homestyle recipe to make them more like something you'd find in a fine restaurant.

The Café Spice dishes includes four new options in total including Butter Chicken Meatballs, Coconut Chicken Curry, Bombay Dal Palak and All Gobhi Curry. Each one is served with basmati saffron rice and can all be prepared quickly in the microwave thanks to the BPA-free packaging that won't leach chemicals into the food.
