About Kalpana
Founder of Kay's Curries
I am Kalpana, founder & owner of Kays Curries. Originally, from India grew up in a middle-class family watching my mother cook delicious & healthy meals.
When I moved to the US, the best way I experienced comfort of my home was by re-creating those meals. But cooking Indian food takes time and effort. There's the grocery shopping, the prep time, and the cooking time. With busy schedules and no time to cook I looked for alternatives. Pre-packaged meals, take-out, and frozen meals were not sustainable, not healthy, and expensive.
Kay's Curries was born out of a need I had inspired by the dry American soup mixes. Just add water and cook. Our meals are all natural with no preservatives and cater to most dietary restrictions - vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, and sesame-free. They are also great for camping and traveling.
Thank you for being here.

What we make
Everything we make starts in my mother's kitchen and ends up in yours. Here is how it is organized.
Meal Kits
A meal kit is one dish. Everything is in the kit to make a wholesome dish. Add water, cook it in one pot, and dinner is done. Chicken Biryani and Tofu Biryani come with two spice packets, a marinade for the protein and a separate blend for the rice, because that is how it is actually made at home. You bring the chicken or the tofu, we bring everything else.
Meal Boxes
A meal box is a set of kits chosen to work together, like the Variety Pack. Several dinners sorted in one go, and they make a very good gift for anyone who has been told there is nothing they can eat.
Meal Add-Ons
Add-ons are the extras. Omni Masala for everyday cooking, Malabar Coffee, Masala Tea, and Halwa when you want dessert. They sit alongside a meal or stand on their own.
From My Kitchen to Yours
Not sure where to start? These are the kits I always keep in my own pantry for busy weeknights.
