Frequently asked questions

Which size do I need?
The 2 L and 2.6 L suit 1 kg packs of dal. The 3.2 L and 3.8 L suit larger packs. The set of 4 gives one dabba each for your main dals.

Can I store other things in it?
Yes. It also suits rava, sugar, tea, whole spices and snacks.

How is it different from the Batter Storage Box?
This is the full dabba, with a tall, deep body for dry groceries. The Batter Storage Box is the half dabba, made for idli and dosa batter.

Is it airtight?
No. The lid closes firmly and keeps dust out, but it is not airtight. For long storage, keep the dabba in a cool, dry place.

Do the sizes fit inside each other?
Yes. All four sizes fit one inside the other, so the set of 4 takes the space of the largest dabba.
