I don't mean the microwave food you usually get in the US. The ones I mentioned are Indian brands which give you microwave versions of the standard Indian fare - butter panner, dal makhani etc. They are quite good and not as unhealthy as the ones you get in the US. In the US, my lunch used to be subs, salad bars, or Thai. Whole wheat/multi grain in India? Leavened or unleavened? I had a > tough time finding these leavened breads in Bangalore as late as 2005. Leavened mostly though they have some unleavened breads as well. The leading brand is daily bread [1]. I'm surprised you couldn't find them in 2005 since they started operations as early as 2003. When I moved to Bangalore in late 2005, and I found their products in most of the high end grocery stores like Spencers as well as their own outlets. And they are not expensive as Bread Talk [2] which is a Singapore based group. These guys have also set up shop as seperate outlets within higher end grocery stores, both in Bangalore and Hyderabad.
