MTR Minute Meals Dal Makhani

MTR Foods is a heritage Indian brand that specializes in ready-to-eat meals and spices. The Dal Makhani pictured is a classic black lentil curry, part of the 'Minute Meals' range which utilizes advanced heat technology to preserve the product without added preservatives. The brand's products are widely exported and are popular in international markets including New Zealand.

Originally founded in Bengaluru, India, in 1924 as Mavalli Tiffin Rooms, the brand has grown from a restaurant chain into a major food processing company. In 2007, MTR Foods was acquired by the Norwegian multinational conglomerate Orkla. This acquisition integrated MTR into Orkla's extensive global portfolio, though the manufacturing and brand heritage remain deeply rooted in India.

Today, MTR continues to operate as a leading brand under Orkla India. The products are manufactured in India and distributed globally through various subsidiaries and international distribution networks to ensure authentic Indian flavors reach consumers abroad.
