Homemade Goodness Delivered Abroad: Pickles, Podi & Sweets from Hyderabad

Why Homemade Food from India Is Irreplaceable

Homemade Indian food stands apart from store-bought or restaurant food for several reasons.

Key reasons NRIs prefer homemade food:

  • Prepared in small batches with care

  • Uses traditional recipes passed down through generations

  • Free from excessive preservatives and artificial flavoring

  • Adjusted to authentic spice levels

  • Emotionally comforting during stressful or lonely periods

For people living abroad, these aspects become even more important.

Homemade food offers:

  • Familiarity in an unfamiliar environment

  • Comfort during illness, exams, or work pressure

  • Cultural continuity for children growing up overseas

  • Emotional reassurance for mothers and elderly family members

Food-loving NRIs

  • Professionals who miss everyday home food

  • Families who want authentic Indian meals

Families with children

  • Parents wanting children to experience Indian flavors

  • Households trying to preserve food traditions


Why Getting Homemade Food Abroad Is Difficult

Despite strong demand, NRIs face several challenges when trying to get homemade food from India.

Common problems include:

  • Store-bought pickles lack authentic taste

  • Indian grocery items abroad are expensive and limited

  • Friends and relatives cannot always carry food

  • Homemade sellers rarely ship internationally

  • Fear of leakage, spoilage, or customs rejection

  • Confusion about what food items are allowed

Many people want to send or receive homemade food but do not know how to do it safely and legally.

This gap is exactly where PickYourKart provides value.
