I always thought it was Tiffin or Tiffun.
Is Tiffing the name of some British ?

Long time ago I saw a documentary showing how packing lunches in these boxes and delivering them to the working men in Bombay is a big business.

tiffin = luch
tiffing = to take luch

in India/Pakistan

tiffing = midday lunch

yeah…it’s an elaborate system of home-made lunches to offices…on time delivery is the guarantee…

…they use public transportation and delivery persons are usually illiterate so they came up with a marking scheme like dhobis in India use…they put marks on the tiffing carriers and never make a mistake.

Dhobi’s system is amazing too…they have a unique mark for each and every family they serve…these marks used to be put on permanent ink on the inside of the shirts’ collars and at nefas of paijaamas…in kurtas, it used to show and that was horrible…looked like you were a marked man

Madaani - wooden hand blender. Most commonly used for making lassi. My Mum and people in Punjab traditionally use madaani to blend saag.

I remember the dhobi marks with dashes and dots.

Tiffin = Lunch in what language ?

i think it’s a Latin word. it’s probably matrook but still in use in the sub-continent.

This (or something similar to this) was used for messing daal and they used to call it ‘daal mandee-a’Ro’.

OK I have a question for all you mard hazrat (since you’re the only ones posting here so far) what is this instrument called, and what’s the paddle shaped thing inside the matka called. For the life of me I can’t remember it right now http://www.blog.gomataseva.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/hand_churning_butter_for_Ghee.jpg

Its madaani. That lady in the pic is “rirking” lasi in “chaatii” with the help of “madaani”.
