Dinner after a long day should not mean another round of takeaway. If you want a proper Indian meal without cooking from scratch, ready to eat dal and curry packs are the easiest answer. VedicMix has four favourites at ₹195 each: Dal Makhani, Dal Tadka, Rajma Masala and Chhole Masala. This guide compares them so you can pick the right one.
Why Choose Ready to Eat Indian Food?
Ready to eat Indian food from VedicMix is dehydrated, which keeps each pack light and easy to carry. You add hot water and a comforting dal or curry is ready in minutes, with no chopping, no tempering and no pressure cooker. VedicMix makes these packs without preservatives, which is why they suit office desks, hostel rooms and travel bags. For more on this, read our guide to preservative-free Indian ready to eat meals.
The Four Packs at a Glance
| Pack | Taste | Best with | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dal Makhani | Rich and creamy black lentils in a buttery gravy | Plain rice or roti | ₹195 |
| Dal Tadka | Comforting, aromatic everyday dal | Rice for a simple weekday meal | ₹195 |
| Rajma Masala | Tender kidney beans in an aromatic gravy | Rice, rajma chawal style | ₹195 |
| Chhole Masala | Chickpeas with balanced traditional seasonings | Rice or roti | ₹195 |
Dal Makhani: The Rich One
Made with black lentils and a buttery, aromatic gravy, this is the pack for a heavier, restaurant-style dinner. It is the most indulgent ready to eat dal of the four.
Dal Tadka: The Everyday One
A simple, comforting dal in an aromatic gravy. If you want the kind of dal you would eat on a normal weekday at home, start here.
Rajma Masala: The Hearty One
Soft, tender rajma beans cooked in an aromatic gravy. Pair it with rice and you have the classic Punjabi comfort meal.
Chhole Masala: The Quick Favourite
Tender chickpeas with a balanced blend of traditional seasonings. It is listed as ready in about 10 minutes, so it works when you are short on time.
Complete the Meal with Rice
Every pack goes well with rice. Add VedicMix Plain Rice (₹149) and you have a full thali-style meal from two packs, with nothing to cook. Dal Makhani in particular is made to be paired with rice, so it is the easiest combination to start with.
Where This Ready to Eat Indian Food Fits
- At the office: keep one pack in your drawer for the days lunch is missed.
- In a hostel or rented room: all you need is hot water and a spoon. See our guide to ready to eat meals for hostel students and bachelors for more ideas.
