One small swap you asked your dabba/tiffin service for — and it stuck?
Anyone who uses a dabba or weekday tiffin service — what's one small swap you requested that the cook actually agreed to and you still keep? For example, a lighter side instead of a fried item, or swapping rice for rotis once a week. Curious about how you asked without sounding fussy and whether the change felt sustainable.

Simple, sustainable swaps that cooks usually accept: ask for 'less oil' or 'roasted/steamed instead of fried', one roti/millet meal a week instead of rice, extra vegetable side or a small salad, and an extra dal/legume day for protein. Phrase it kindly and specific—e.g., “Could you make the bhaji less oily?” or “Can I have rotis on Mondays?” —and offer a small extra charge or to bring a container (rotis/curd) if needed. These keep meals balanced (more whole grains, veg, pulses, less fried) per national dietary guidance and are easy for cooks to repeat.
