Festivals are joyous occasions spent in traditional clothes with delicious treats shared with friends and family. Most Indian festivals comprise traditional Indian meals which include items such as fritters, sweets, flatbreads, curries, savouries and more. Hindu festivals are known to make at least 5 items or more on a festive occasion. They serve the first plate to God and only proceed to eat after puja or prayer.
In metropolitan cities, schedules are packed, and festivals slowly become tedious events for those who are short on time. This reduces overall joy and the feeling of togetherness in a family, which is the entire point of celebrating festivals. However, this can be helped with the use of ready to eat food. Instant food products like these generally take a few minutes to prepare and do not require any additional ingredients except for heat. This not only reduces cooking time but also prep time too! ITC Store features a wide variety of ready to eat products that can even help you make an entire festive meal!
