Kohinoor Dal Makhani — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Kohinoor Dal Makhani by Kohinoor OKAY — score 60/90.

A genuinely whole-food ready meal: black lentils, kidney beans, tomato and real spices with zero artificial additives. Refined sunflower oil and added salt are the only real knocks.

Why this verdict

• Real whole-food base: black lentils and kidney beans, both protein- and fiber-rich
• No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or MSG
• No added sugar and no emulsifiers or modified starch
• Refined sunflower oil adds fat with little nutritional upside
• Added salt pushes sodium up, as with most ready meals
