And given that MTR's products cost just $2.50 per pack where I currently live, $24 isn't exactly cheap. I haven't tasted your product, but I have tasted the MTR ones and they seem pretty authentic. And MTR being a very old, traditional brand, it's as authentic as it gets. Would love to hear about your differentiation strategy.

#12Are there no nutritional facts for these items? I can't seem to find them on the site.
There are! You can find them on the single product pages on the last picture. (Ex upma: https://thebuttermilkco.com/collections/singles/products/upm... )
Pictures can be ok but I would really prefer the info in text/chart form

#13Any rationale for not using GMO ingredients?

#14I think I’m your perfect “people that just like Indian food” target audience! The only thing from just skimming the site (haven’t dove deep in just yet) is that it seems it’s only veggie dishes right? Not a deal breaker, but if you had at least easy to follow recipes accompanying these on how to add some meat to them, this might turn into 100% of my meals Anyways, will be ordering when I get home. Good job launching…

Thank you! Yes, everything is vegan but I totally understand your need for more meat dishes. Under 'How To Eat' on each product page we've added what meat we suggest mixing with the dish. More detailed recipes to come! Thanks for the feedback. Example: https://thebuttermilkco.com/collections/singles/products/sam...

#16What is HPP?
Re: Launch HN: The Buttermilk Company (YC S18) – Homemade Indian Food in 5 Minutes
#17>The options were expensive 5 Spice packets for 24$ isnt what I consider cheap, given I eat for an entire week on ~20$, including a curry chicken dish. If I misunderstood(like veggies and beans are included), could you mention that in the product page?

#18> We’re also exploring new shelf-life extension technologies (such as HPP) What is HPP?

#20How is this any different from MTR's line of products?[1] And given that MTR's products cost just $2.50 per pack where I currently live, $24 isn't exactly cheap. I haven't tasted your product, but I have tasted the MTR ones and they seem pretty authentic. And MTR being a very old, traditional brand, it's as authentic as it gets.

Edit: was wrong about MTR using preservatives, but I've always found their food to have an off taste.
