Instant mix

From Packet to Plate

Instant mixes take the work out of dishes that normally need a full day of soaking, grinding or fermenting.

Add water or yoghurt and you have dosa, idli, dhokla or warm gulab jamun in minutes, with reliable results every time and no guesswork over the fermentation.

They are a genuine help on a weekday, when you want the dish but not the two-day process, and they store neatly in the cupboard until you need them.

Stock the shortcut shelf and the staples around it.

Pair a savoury mix with a mustard-seed tempering, keep maida and besan for binding and dusting, and browse the rest of our instant food selection for more quick wins.

Prefer to grind your own? Start with urad and chana dal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do instant dosa mixes need fermenting?

No. Most instant dosa and idli mixes are designed to skip the fermentation step. You just mix with water or yoghurt, rest briefly, and cook, which saves the usual overnight wait.

Can I make sweets from instant mixes?

Yes. Mixes for gulab jamun, jalebi and other sweets let you make festival favourites at home with minimal effort, which is handy when guests arrive at short notice.
