"Better than most restaurants."

Thick, creamy, properly slow-cooked taste. The ghee on top is a nice touch. I heat it and add a squeeze of lemon — perfection.

"My husband asks for this weekly."

I was skeptical about ready-to-eat dal makhani but this one surprised me. Rich, smoky, and the kidney beans are cooked through perfectly.

"Closest to Amritsar I have found."

Living in Dubai, I miss proper dal makhani. This comes very close. The three-dal blend gives it depth you do not get from single-dal versions.

"Creamy, slow-cooked taste"

You can tell it has been simmered. Good ghee finish. I add a spoon of cream and it is restaurant quality.

"Indulgent and rich"

Velvety three-dal blend, deep flavour. Felt like a treat on a tired Tuesday. Keeping a few pouches stocked.

How to heat

Two ways. Either is foolproof.

Heat & eat — the way mum would, in minutes. Pick your way:

  1. 1

    Boil the water

    Half-fill a pot and bring it to a proper rolling boil.

    a rolling boil — don’t rush it
    3 min
  2. 2

    Drop the pouch in

    The sealed pouch goes straight into the boiling water.

    no tearing, no mess
    4 min
  3. 3

    Snip, pour, serve

    Lift it out with tongs, snip the notch and pour onto a plate.

    and it plates itself
    30 sec
pro tip No washing up — the pouch is your saucepan.

Also works on a tava with ghee, an induction plate, even an open-fire chulha.

Serve hot with phulka, jeera rice or a wedge of lemon.

Questions, answered

Six things people ask.

Correct. Our retort pouch is sterilized at 121°C and sealed under nitrogen — the same technology the Indian army and ISRO use. Store at room temperature for 12 months. Refrigerate only after opening.

12 months from the manufacture date printed on the back of the pouch. Once opened, finish within 24 hours (refrigerated).

We won't say identical — fresh is always fresh. But the retort process locks in flavour and texture at the peak of cooking, so most customers can't tell the difference once it's heated through. For the closest result, heat it in a pan rather than the microwave.

Yes — fully sealed retort pouches are allowed in checked baggage internationally. Many of our NRI customers do exactly this.

Yes — we ship internationally all over the world. Please contact us at support@thakarkitchen.com for shipping rates and more info.

Yes. Payments are handled entirely by our payment gateway — we never see or store your card or UPI details. If your order can't be fulfilled for any reason, the full amount is refunded automatically. Prepaid orders above ₹599 also ship free.
