Inside the Mumta Kitchen

What makes Mumta different is not a secret ingredient. It is everything we refuse to take a shortcut on. Here is exactly how your food is made.

The food we cook for you is the same food we feed our own family. Every single day.

This morning in our kitchen

Every weekday, before your tiffin is packed

  • โœ“Yogurt โ€” set overnight, fresh for today
  • โœ“Paneer โ€” made fresh this morning
  • โœ“Spices โ€” ground in-house
  • โœ“Ginger-garlic paste โ€” made today
  • โœ“Gravies โ€” cooked fresh this morning
  • โœ“Chef Mumta โ€” cooking, the same slow way as always

Fresh, every single day

Nothing here is made the night before, and nothing is frozen and reheated.

โœ“
Fresh yogurt set every evening.
โœ“
Paneer made in-house, the same day it is served.
โœ“
Ginger-garlic paste made fresh daily.
โœ“
Gravies cooked fresh every morning.
โœ“
Spices ground in-house, not poured from a packet.
โœ“
Every meal prepared the same morning it reaches your door.

No shortcuts. Ever.

The easy way and the right way are rarely the same. We choose the right way.

โœ•
No ready-made or packaged gravies.
โœ•
No store-bought ginger-garlic paste.
โœ•
No packaged spice mixes. We grind our own.
โœ•
No frozen patties, meatballs or kebabs. Our non-veg is made from scratch.
โœ•
No artificial food colours. Colour comes from real spices and real ingredients.
โœ•
No store-bought desserts. Every sweet is homemade.

The right oil for every dish

We choose each oil for the dish it belongs to, never for the cost. And we never use palm oil.

Pure desi ghee

Punjabi classics: dal makhani, paneer makhani, butter chicken, kadhi, rotis and parathas.

Olive oil

Pasta and continental dishes.

Extra-virgin olive oil

Fresh salads, including our quinoa salad.

Coconut oil

South Indian dishes, true to their tradition.

Canola oil

For frying and a few select methods.

Never palm oil

And never lower-quality oils, in any dish.

Cooked with your family in mind

Many of the people we cook for are children, pregnant women, seniors and families. We take that responsibility seriously.

โœ“
Mild, balanced spice by default, so everyone at the table can enjoy it. More heat on request.
โœ“
Wholesome ingredients: whole grains, fresh vegetables, lentils, fruit, yogurt, oats and flaxseed.
โœ“
Light and easy to digest, so you never feel heavy after eating.
โœ“
Even our cakes nourish, made with fruit, yogurt, oats and flaxseed.

Our promise

If we would not proudly serve it to our own family, it does not leave our kitchen.
