Making home-cooked Indian food takes a lot of time and effort. I assume most of the Indians and Pakistanis doing this kind of thing are laborers working 12 hours or so a day. They probably microwave the food, so it's like the TV dinners I living on when I was young.

But yes, that being said, a lot of men from the region won't/can't cook. And many are picky about what they would even consider to be Indian/Pakistani food - someone from Kerala isn't necesarily going to like something from Delhi. Kind of like BBQ in this country (although I know I guy from Goa who makes an incredible beef brisket).

I'm surprised one of their fellow migrants hasn't thought of setting up a kitchen at the work sites or living quarters there - it's got to be more cost effective than flying it in.

If they found a wife who could cook, maybe they wouldn’t be bachelors anymore eating shipped home cooked meals no more no more.
