Festivals are times of joyous gatherings where friends and family come together to celebrate special occasions. Indian festivals are generally public holidays so work and studies take a backseat to spreading love and good energy. Many enticing treats are prepared with love and devotion to feast upon during festive times. There are at least 5 or more dishes prepared for every Hindu festival. This might sound like hard work for many people who cannot give this much time to festive prep.
This is where ready to eat food products and frozen vegetables come to save the day. Ready-to-eat food products are pre-made food products that are stored in special packaging so as to retain their taste and flavour. Most ready to eat items are also known as heat-and-eat products as they only need heat and no other added ingredients to cook. Frozen food like frozen vegetables, frozen prawns etc are frozen when fresh to retain their freshness. They are cleaned and chopped to reduce the effort for the users and can be safely used to make delicious items.
