What is a dabba?

A dabba is a pail of home-cooked food that people carry and deliver to your school or your office.

Home-cooked food is better / tastier than the food of the canteen.

In the pail, there are many spices.

On the pail, there is a handle to carry it and a colour code (yellow and red letters and numbers).

The word “dabba” is a Hindi word. It means “box”.

The word “dabbawalla” means the person who delivers the food. They look like cooks with white hats but it’s not a catering service.
