Being Indian is all about experiencing new things, travelling, and having fun with friends and family. With all of this, we frequently worry about how to prepare meals when travelling, what to pack for long bus or rail rides, what simple recipes can be made for such a voyage, and much more. Packed homemade food is an important part of travel. It takes care of your pocket and sudden hunger pangs that hit you. You don't have to unnecessarily stop in between if you have prepacked food with you. It is something about sharing packed food with your loved ones while travelling! It keeps you connected and gives a different kind of satisfaction.
Here's what you can carry on your trips
