MTR Dal Makhani Ready to Eat

MTR, which stands for Mavalli Tiffin Rooms, is an iconic Indian brand with deep roots in Bengaluru's culinary history, founded by the Maiya family in 1924. Originally a famous restaurant, MTR transitioned into the processed food industry in the 1970s, pioneering ready-to-eat meals and spice mixes that brought authentic South Indian and North Indian flavors to households globally.

While the brand originated in India, its ownership shifted when it was acquired by the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla in 2007. Since the acquisition, Orkla has expanded MTR’s reach significantly. The product featured, Dal Makhani, is a classic black lentil curry manufactured in MTR's facilities in India to maintain traditional taste profiles before being exported to international markets like New Zealand. Orkla operates the brand through its dedicated Indian subsidiary, MTR Foods Private Limited.
