Rajah Spices launches its delicious new range of Heat & Stir Dals

A delicious dal is a cornerstone of Asian households and nothing quite comes close to tucking into a hot dal with rotis, chapatis or rice in these cold winter days. But after a long hard day at work, just thinking about coming home and cooking makes you tired…now thanks to Rajah Spices’ newly launched Heat & Stir range of dals, you can enjoy your favourite dal dishes without the stresses of cooking.

Rajah Spices have worked tirelessly to ensure that their delicious Dal Makhani and Tadka Dal are not only quick to make but also a healthy option by using 18 individual herbs, spices and ingredients, with no preservatives. In a recent survey, 82% of women found the the Tadka Dal and Dal Makhani to be flavoursome and fresh and were surprised this was achieved with no artificial flavourings or preservatives.


“The best part was that both the ready to eat packs tasted like home made products, all I did was add in a pinch of salt. It tasted good with both rotis and rice,” said Kirti, a busy working professional from Pinner.

Niharika Singh from Hounslow added: “The Rajah Heat & Stir Tadka Dal reminded me of my mum’s cooking and made cooking for my family on weekdays much easier and tastier.”

Speaking about the products, spokesperson from Rajah, Senior Brand Manager, Jonathan Somers said: “At Rajah Spices we are constantly evolving and looking at products and innovations that match the needs of our audience. We understand that cooking a traditional meal from scratch can be time consuming and sometimes even mums need a break, which is why we introduced Rajah Heat & Stir’s Tadka Dal and Dal Makhani, to give that authentic taste of home in a couple of minutes.”

Top tips on how to make your Rajah Heat & Stir even tastier:

After speaking to mums across the country, here are some simple tips to make Rajah Heat & Stir’s Dal Tadka or Dal Makhani taste even closer to home:

- For the calorie conscious, stir in some low fat Greek yogurt to the Dal Makhani to give it that extra creamy texture.

- Add some chopped tomatoes to the Dal Tadka and some fresh coriander leaves for the perfect garnish.

- Add some finely chopped red onions to the Dal Makhani and a tiny pinch of red chilli powder to create a zing.

Daal, diaspora and climate change: Are cultural recipes the solution?

I’m Mareyah, a sustainability strategist and passionate home cook, exploring the links between climate, culture and food. Drawing on my Pakistani heritage, I champion the value of traditional knowledge and everyday cooking as a powerful - yet often overlooked - tool for climate action. My work focuses on making sustainability accessible by celebrating the flavours, stories and practices that have been passed down through generations.

As someone who grew up surrounded by the flavours and stories of my Pakistani heritage, food has always been more than nourishment - it’s about connections, culture and memory. It’s one of the only things that unites us all. We cook it, eat it and talk about it every day, even if our ingredients and traditions differ. We live in a world where climate change is a looming threat, and we’re constantly seeing images of crises and mentions of highly technical or political answers. But, what if one of the solutions was closer to home?
