A tiffin is a light meal or snack commonly enjoyed in India and other South Asian countries. It typically consists of a variety of dishes, such as rice, lentils, vegetables, and bread, served in a multi-tiered container. Tiffins are often packed for lunch, especially for schoolchildren and office workers, providing a convenient way to enjoy home-cooked food on the go. The term "tiffin" can also refer to the act of having a light meal or tea in the afternoon. In many regions, tiffins are delivered by dabbawalas, who transport meals in specially designed containers, ensuring that fresh food reaches its destination efficiently.
