FAQ - MEALS
Are meals
available?
Yes. Tushita serves a tasty & healthy blend of
Indian, Tibetan and Western vegetarian meals, three times per
day. Typical meals are…
• Breakfast: porridge, a piece
of fruit, bread, butter and homemade jam. (Drinks:
Hot water and milk)
• Lunch: rice, dahl (lentil
stew), a vegetable dish and salad (Drinks:
Hot water)
• Dinner: vegetable soup, bread,
butter and homemade jam (Drinks:
Hot water and milk tea - chai)
Safe filtered drinking water is available 24 hours a day, milk tea
(chai) is also served in the afternoon and there are always tea bags
(black tea) for you to make your own tea.
I have special dietary needs. Can Tushita provide special
food for me?
Considering the large number of people we cook for, as well as the extremely wide variety of food
allergies/preferences, we unfortunately are NOT able to
provide for special dietary needs. This includes dairy, gluten, lactose
and
wheat allergies.
Bear in mind that this is India,
and supplementary goods that may be easily available where you live are
either non-existent or very expensive here. In the past we (a
small team of volunteers) have been subject to some aggression from
students who fail to appreciate our position on this, and we ask
kindly...
Please don't put us in the position of saying no by asking for special
arrangements.
To help you to decide whether you will be able to eat the food offered
at Tushita, here is some more information about our all-vegetarian
meals: some of our dishes contain wheat, dairy, nuts, soy or other
ingredients which may cause allergic reactions in some people, and
occasionally baked products may contain eggs. Almost all of our dishes
contain at least a small amount of oil, spices, salt and/or
sugar.
I would like to take the Eight Mahayana Precepts during my
stay. Do your meals contain black foods?
Our meals will usually not contain ‘black foods’
(eggs, onions, garlic and radishes), so they are ‘precept
safe’. Those dishes which do contain these
ingredients will be labeled.
