Do your children miss home-cooked meals while you are away? Mranalini Jain has a solution

January 4, 2023

Mranalini Jain created DryM Foods after her daughter left for Scotland to pursue her postgraduate studies. The main issue, of course, was the lack of affordable vegetarian food, as well as the availability of time to cook.

Moving away from home has advantages, but homesickness can be more painful. What could be better than a mother's love (converted to food) to soothe a homesick child's soul? 

This is where the journey of DryM Foods began when a mother thought of a solution to help her daughter and all the mothers out there whose children travel for their studies.

Once the journey began, they realized how well-dehydrated home-cooked meals can work for people other than mothers, such as those who enjoy camping and backpacking, travel abroad frequently, have difficult allergies to manage while traveling, and are easily tired of eating out due to a lack of time to prepare a satisfying meal, among others.

They specialize in dehydrating and packaging your own home-cooked food, or you can choose from their selection of dehydrated home-cooked Indian dishes.

An IHM '92 graduate, Mranalini is a trained handwriting analyst also and is passionate about exploring new ideas, helping women around her be independent and DIY crafts. 

Apart from her work, she loves dogs, cycling, gardening, and her Bacardi

Do visit her website to order from the vast selection of home-cooked food. You can also check her out on www.womenlisted.com to know more about her work and brand.
