Everything people actually ask us, about how the food is made, how to cook it, and how to store it.
Take out only the pieces you need, reseal the pack tightly and return it to the freezer (-18°C) immediately. Used this way, the product stays good until the best-before date printed on the pack. What shortens its life is time spent outside the freezer, never let the pack sit out and soften between servings.
No. If the contents have fully thawed, cook them and refrigerate the cooked snacks (eat within 1-2 days). Refreezing thawed product damages texture and is a food-safety risk. A pack that is still firm with ice crystals can go straight back into the freezer.
No, breaded and coated snacks are designed to cook straight from frozen; thawing first makes them soggy and can cause fillings to leak. The exception is raw items like prawns, which should be thawed as directed on the pack before cooking.
Quick-commerce deliveries travel in insulated bags, so brief softening on a hot day is normal. If the pieces are still firm or icy, put the pack straight into the freezer, it's fine. If the contents are fully thawed and soft, cook them the same day and do not refreeze.
Every ITC Master Chef snack can be shallow-fried on a pan or tawa, or deep-fried in a kadhai. Many also work in a standard OTG/oven at 200°C. Exact times for each method are on the pack and on every product page.
Check the FSSAI marking on the pack, a green dot means vegetarian, a brown/maroon dot means non-vegetarian. On this site, every product page also lists it, and the Veg and Potato ranges are fully vegetarian.
The nuggets come par-cooked and frozen. Cook them straight from the freezer, air fry, shallow fry or deep fry until golden, and they are ready to eat. Do not thaw before cooking.
Each 450g pack contains approximately 25 nuggets, enough for 4-5 servings as a snack or starter.

Yes, these kebabs are microwave friendly. Heat 3-4 frozen kebabs on high for about 3 minutes, rest a minute, and serve.
Each 500g pack contains 10 seekh kebabs, roughly 4-5 servings as a starter.
They carry a classic seekh masala profile, aromatic and moderately spiced rather than hot. Pair with mint chutney and onion rings.
Finish pan-cooked kebabs directly over a low open flame for 20-30 seconds per side, or use the air fryer at 200°C for the last 2 minutes.
Malai seekh uses a cream-based marinade for a softer texture and milder, richer flavour, while the classic seekh has a bolder, spicier masala profile.
The malai seekh's mild, creamy profile makes it one of the most kid-friendly kebabs in the range.
Each 400g pack contains 8 malai seekh kebabs.
Each 500g pack contains approximately 55 bite-sized pieces, ideal for sharing bowls and parties.
Classic pairings are peri-peri mayo, honey-mustard, and a quick yogurt-mint dip. For an Indian twist, toss the cooked popcorn in chaat masala.

Keep the pack frozen at -18°C or below. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within the period indicated on the pack. Do not refreeze thawed product.
