Choose a travel‑stable item, but follow simple safety rules: prefer low‑moisture cooked or dry foods (roasted snacks, stuffed parathas, dhokla, paneer tikka) and avoid raw salads/dairy unless kept cold. If you bring perishables (sandwiches, cut fruit, yogurt) pack them in an insulated cooler with frozen ice packs and don’t leave them at room temperature >2 hours (≈1 hour if very hot). Use separate, soft portions for kids/grandparents to avoid choking and reheat thoroughly before serving.
