As a nutritionist and mother of three, I experienced the challenge of finding convenient, plant-based, and gluten-free meal options for those hectic evenings when cooking just wasn’t an option. I understand the struggle of juggling a busy lifestyle while striving tomaintain a healthy diet.


Drawing inspiration from my upbringing and the wisdom passed down from my mother, I began freezing batches of aromatic khichdi (kit-cha-ree) – traditional lentil and rice dishes. This simple yet flavorful one-pot meal laid the foundation for Aahana's LentilBowls.


With over a decade of experience as a clinical and school dietitian, I'm deeply passionate about the profound impact of diet on one’s mental and physical well-being. This passion, combined with my expertise, fuels our mission to create delicious, ready-to-eat lentil bowls that are both nutritious and convenient.
What sets Aahana's Lentil Bowls apart:

  • Our meals combine lentils with grains to provide a complete high-quality protein source, delivering 15g of complete plant-based proteins.
  • We use organic ingredients carefully selected to complement each other, resulting in nutrient-dense superfood meals.
  • Our recipes feature sprouted beans and grains, enhancing their nutritive value, and making them easy to digest.
  • Our lentil bowls are prepared using Ayurvedic principles, making them nutrient- dense and easy to digest.
  • We prepare our lentil bowls in small batches and freeze-dry them to retain their original nutrients, natural colors, and flavors.
