#22Love it! But this is Palak as a Service, not Saag as a Service. Saag, I think, is mustard leaves
My understanding is that Saag is the generic term for a leafy vegetable curry of this kind ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saag ). Mustard is Sarson, if my Hindi isn't failing me.
Oh yes of course, it's sarson. My bad. Big misconception corrected. My only association with saag was sarson ka saag, before I came to America, where I found it interchangeably used with palak in palak paneer.

Thanks! We currently handle delivery ourselves. What area are you in? If you're in the Bay Area but not in our coverage area, email me (soham@pashi.com) and we can try to make it work.
I notice your zip codes aren't numerically sorted, at first I thought mine (94117) wasn't available, because it wasn't in the first block of 94. Might want to sort them, or just allow people to type it in. Cool product though! I'm ordering some now.
Nice catch, fixed!

#24When I saw Saag as a Service I was hoping for some kind of API where I could place and order through curl or something! Kinda like the EverQuest 2 pizza command. Good luck!
The long-term vision for this, which we hope to fulfill once we get some traction, is an API that allows you to order food such as Saag with arbitrary nutritional values (within a certain range). We don't have the volume for that yet, but with your help maybe we can get there soon!
How would you tweak those values?

Changing the proportions of the ingredients -- in the case of saag, we could mix and match paneer, tofu, seitan, and a side of a carb like rice to produce any reasonable macronutrient ratio.

#26Really like this concept! As a vegetarian, I have come across many other services that focus on nutritionally customizable products, but when it comes to vegetarian options, the macros / protein numbers leave a lot to be desired. I've also noticed that a lot of the vegetarian options available at restaurants in the bay tend to be much more carb heavy than I would prefer, and it takes a lot of overhead to research / o…
Absolutely, these are the exact reasons I started this. We plan to expand to more dishes as we scale, but for now, if you're in the Bay Area, I hope we can at least help liberate you from the monotony of Chipotle.
