Weekly Veggie Core Essentials

Weekly Veggie Core Essentials is the base box — the vegetables that go into almost everything, rather than the ones you buy for a particular dish.

It is built around the everyday staples an Indian kitchen starts from: the onions, tomatoes, potatoes, chillies and aromatics that a tadka, a sabzi or a curry begins with, plus the week's greens. Ordering them together once a week is simply less work than picking them up one at a time.

Pick the size that suits your household — Small, Family or Large. When the box arrives, keep onions, potatoes and garlic out of the fridge somewhere cool and dark, and refrigerate the greens, tomatoes and chillies. Cook the leafy vegetables in the first day or two and leave the sturdier ones for later in the week.
