Mumbai meal-prep guide (without the Sunday slog)
Meal prep in Mumbai often dies at the chopping board. Here is a lighter system: keep proteins and spices at home; let SABXI handle fresh cuts the day you cook.
The Mumbai problem
Long hours, small kitchens, humidity that hates pre-cut boxes in the fridge. Classic Sunday batch-prep helps — until mid-week wilting and flavour fade. SABXI’s model fits city life better: prep the plan, not the produce days ahead.
A simple weekly rhythm
- Sunday (10 min): Pick 4–5 dinners (dal, sabzi + roti, stir-fry, eggs + salad, one Mixed Pack night).
- Stock once: dals, rice, oils, spices, eggs, paneer/tofu as you prefer.
- Order the day you cook: cut veggies / Mixed Pack / fruit bowl / juice from the app — delivered from Chembur in under 30 minutes when you are in zone.
Sample 5-night plan
- Mon: Mixed Pack (moong or chana) + rice
- Tue: Cut onion-tomato-palak for a quick sabzi; roti from frozen or tawa
- Wed: Stir-fry cut mix + eggs or paneer
- Thu: Salad cuts + grilled protein; fruit bowl for dessert
- Fri: Comfort dal with fresh cut garnish; cold-pressed juice on the side
Subscription baskets (when enabled in the app) can put a daily cut pack on autopilot — useful if you cook every evening after work.
What not to pre-cut at home days ahead
Leafy greens, tomatoes, and watery fruits lose quality fast once cut. Ordering them the evening you need them from a cut-after-order studio beats a fridge drawer of sad boxes.
