Pack wet or dressed components separately (gravy, dal, chutney, lemon, chopped herbs) and carry a tiny leakproof cup with a pre-made tadka or lemon-salt mix to add just before lunch. Keeping gravies apart stops moisture transfer; pouring a fresh hot tadka or a squeeze of lemon revives aroma and brightens flavour so rice/rotis and dry sabzis stay non‑soggy and tasty.
