Tiffin is lunch, or any light meal. In South India and in Nepal, the term is generally used for between-meals snacks: dosas, idlis, etc. Outside South India, like Mumbai, the word mostly refers to any packed lunch, often light lunches prepared for working Indian men by their wives after they have left for work, or for schoolchildren by their parents. Tiffin often consists of rice, dal, curry, vegetables, chapath is or "spicy meats".
 
The lunch boxes are themselves called tiffin carriers, tiffin-boxes or sometimes tiffins.
