"Sweet-tangy perfection."

Gujarati dal is notoriously hard to get right — this one nails the jaggery-tamarind balance. I've tried dal from three different RTE brands and Thakar is the only one that tastes real.

"Solved my Sunday dal problem."

Living in Bangalore makes it hard to get good Gujarati dal. This is my weekly Sunday fix — I serve it over rice with papad and ghee. Perfect.

"My kids actually ask for it."

My children grew up here and usually don't eat Indian food. But they love this dal — mild, flavourful, not too thick. We go through 2 packs a week.

"Right sweet-tangy balance"

Most brands make it too sweet. This one respects the kokum-jaggery balance. I add a bit of extra water and it is perfect.

"Tastes like Sunday at home"

Grew up on Gujarati dal abroad. This took me straight back. The peanuts and curry leaves make it.

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.
