You will be the envy of your workmates when they spot your shiny new tiffin in the lunch fridge.  In Britain and India the term ‘Tiffin’ usually means a light lunch or snack brought to work or school.  Pop your dahl in one layer, bread in another and curry in the last one.  Presto, lunch in a reusable leakproof and mostly cool lunchbox.  And if you live in Melbourne check out this site – you can order your Indian lunch, delivered in a tiffin, right to your desk (my sister and I so miss living in Melbourne).  If you don’t live there, but still want your tiffin, shop online here.  Of course you don’t even have to put food in it – imagine one layer filled with spools of colourful thread; packets of sequins and beads in another; stock one with your pretty trims and buttons, and you have a little Aladdin’s cave of treasures.
