About Panj River

The outdoor industry needed better Indian food. But more importantly, the outdoor industry needed more diversity.

I built Panj River as a celebration of my heritage - an homage to my roots of Punjab, India. And I'm bringing that celebration to the great outdoors.

We’re Not Here to Blend In. Neither Are You.

This isn’t just food. It’s a middle finger to the watered-down, bastardized versions of South Asian culture. These snacks and meals are for the untamed, the off-the-beaten-path adventurers, and the ones who don’t tone it down for anyone.

FAQ

You got questions. We got answers.

  • We do!! We make everything from scratch starting with the freshest ingredients, fair-trade spices from Diaspora Co., and dehydrate it ourselves. We make everything in small batches, made to order.

  • Directly from us! Shop online here or contact us directly!

  • For the Punjabi Rajma, Moong Masoor Dhal, and Amritsari Chole, simply add boiling water to the bag in the amount specified. The Lassi Leathers and Pinni are ready-to-eat! No prep needed.

  • We do not use any gluten or soy ingredients, and only our Pinni uses dairy. We do however cook out of a shared kitchen where there is gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy present. We clean and sanitize surfaces and equipment before use but we cannot guarantee that there will be no cross contamination.

  • Our food is packaged in a way that is intended to achieve a long shelf life for years. However, we use recommended 'best by' dates within the 3-month or 6-month range (based on the product) to ensure optimal taste. The expiration date of each meal is posted on the packaging.

  • All our offerings, with the exception of our beloved Pinni, are vegan. That means we use no dairy or animal products in the ingredients. Our Pinni is vegetarian (contains ghee). We do, however, use a shared kitchen that comes in contact with dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, and other meat products.

  • Because we care about quality, not just pumping out mass-produced blandness.
