Why Swastik

A mill's own brand, not a repacker's.

Most retail dal is bought in bulk from whoever is cheapest that week and repacked. Swastik comes off our own lines, so we can tell you exactly where it was grown, milled and packed.

Nothing added to make it shine

No oil polish, no water polish, no colour. Polish changes how dal looks on a shelf, not how it cooks. We leave the grain as it comes off the line, so what you see in the window is what goes in the pot.

Packed where it is milled

Milled and packed in our own units at Paratwada and Yavatmal, in the middle of the tur and chana belt. No third-party repacker in between.

Sorted for a home kitchen

Destoned, de-husked and colour-sorted to a tighter tolerance than our trade sacks, so you are not picking stones and black grains out before you cook.

Every label fully declared

FSSAI licence, batch number, pack month, net weight and a consumer-care number that reaches the mill, not a call centre.

Polished or unpolished?

How to tell the difference in two minutes.

  • Look: unpolished dal is matte and slightly uneven in tone; polished dal has a uniform gloss.
  • Rub: rub a small handful between your palms. Oil-polished dal leaves a faint greasy film; unpolished dal leaves a fine, dry powder.
  • Soak: ten minutes in a glass of water. Oil polish often leaves a thin sheen; unpolished dal turns the water slightly cloudy, which is just surface dust. Strong bright yellow water is a warning sign.
