Sound familiar?

Generic apps don't know your kitchen

Most meal planners suggest pasta on Tuesday and tacos on Thursday. They don't understand that your week needs dal on Monday, karahi on Wednesday, and that leftover rice becomes fried rice on Thursday.

Regional cuisines get lumped together

South Indian dosa night and Punjabi butter chicken are not the same cuisine. FridgeFirst covers 12+ South Asian regional styles — each family member picks their favourites.

Allergy + diet rules in one desi household

Nut-free for the kids, low-sodium for dad, vegetarian options for guests — without cooking three separate dinners every night.

Made for desi kitchens

12+ regional cuisines

Punjabi, South Indian, Pakistani, Bengali, Sri Lankan, Gujarati, and more. Not one generic "Indian" checkbox.

Built for the whole family

Per-member profiles: halal preferences, spice level, allergies, diabetic-friendly swaps — one shared weekly plan.

Allergy-aware by default

Peanuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, eggs, soy — flagged automatically on every recipe suggestion.

Full week in one tap

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks — planned together so leftovers and pantry items flow across the week.

Example weeknight

You have chicken thighs, spinach, garlic, and basmati in the fridge. FridgeFirst suggests lemon-garlic chicken with wilted spinach — 22 minutes, kid-friendly spice, and it uses the spinach before it wilts.

  • Monday: Dal tadka + jeera rice (uses pantry lentils)
  • Tuesday: Chicken karahi from what's in the fridge
  • Wednesday: Palak paneer — frozen spinach counts
  • Thursday: Leftover dal stuffed parathas for breakfast
