“Better than plain khichdi.”

The masala makes all the difference. It is like vaghareli khichdi but with more punch. Perfect sick-day comfort food with kadhi on the side.

“Easy hostel dinner sorted.”

Heat, squeeze some lemon, done. Tastes like what my mum packs. The dal-to-rice ratio is just right — not too mushy, not too dry.

How to heat

Two ways.
Either is foolproof.

Heat and eat, the way mum would, in minutes. Pick your way.

Where it comes from

The recipe is from 1967.
The pouch is not.

Retort sealing is what lets a cooked dish keep without a single preservative. That part is new. What goes inside it is the food this kitchen has made since 1967.

Questions, answered

Six things people ask.

Does it really not need refrigeration?

Correct. Our retort pouch is sealed with the air pressed out, then sterilised at 121°C — the same technology the Indian army and ISRO use. Store at room temperature for 12 months. Refrigerate only after opening.

How long does it actually stay good?

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

Is the taste identical to fresh?

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.

Can I take it on a flight?

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

Do you ship outside India?

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

Is it safe to pay in advance?

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 ₹699 also ship free.
