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.

Doctors urge children under 8 to avoid slushies due to glycerol risks

Children’s love for brightly coloured, sweet beverages, such as slushy ice drinks, may come with hidden dangers, according to new research that highlights the risks posed by glycerol, a common ingredient in these products. Doctors are now urging that children under eight should completely avoid slushy drinks that contain glycerol, as they may cause serious health issues, including loss of consciousness and shock.

The call for revised health advice comes in response to a recent study conducted by paediatricians in the UK and Ireland. The research, published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, examined 21 cases of children aged between two and seven who required emergency treatment shortly after drinking glycerol-containing slushies. These cases, all from 2018 to 2024, involved children who became acutely ill within an hour of consuming the drinks.
