“Restaurant-style dal”
Creamy, protein-packed and deeply flavoured. Loved it over jeera rice.

Panchratna, the five gems.Toor, chana, moong, udad and masoor, cooked down together in one pot. Five dals is the whole reason for the name, and the reason this tastes rounder than any single-dal preparation. Each one softens at its own pace, so they go in staged rather than all at once.

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. Orders above ₹699 ship free. All orders are paid online: we do not offer Cash on Delivery.
