What to know about Go!Dry Daal Tadka Rice Combo Ready to Eat
Five lentils and a clean list, but modest protein
Go!Dry Daal Tadka Rice Combo is a dried, ready-to-eat meal built from five dals (arhar, chana, white urad, moong chilka and masoor), rice, ginger, onion, garlic, tomato, green chillies, a dry masala and salt. No percentages are declared. It is made for people who want a hot meal anywhere: the 75 g pouch yields 250 g once water is added, by stove, microwave or boiling water.
Per 100 g the panel shows 216.51 kcal, 3.05 g protein, 5.6 g fibre, 17.98 g fat and 164 mg sodium. The printed serve is 37.5 g, half the pouch, which works out to about 81 kcal, 1.1 g protein and 62 mg sodium. The whole pouch, which the pack says to finish once opened, is double that.
The front promises no palm oil, no MSG, no preservatives and no cholesterol, and the ingredient list agrees. The back and the retailer page lean on a balanced meal rich in vitamins and minerals, which is a stretch at 1.64 mg iron and 26 mg calcium per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it DA2.
Why Go!Dry Daal Tadka Rice Combo Ready to Eat scores DA2
Nutrition is a D on 3.05 g protein per 100 g, ingredients are an A with no additives listed, and risk is a 2 on 3.24 g saturated fat and 164 mg sodium per 100 g.

- Vitamins and minerals
- 4 declared
- Energy
- 217 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 3.05 g per 100 g, and the protein factor is only 0.65, so the meal earns little credit for its five dals. Fibre is 5.6 g per 100 g, which helps, but it is not enough to lift the grade.
Fat is 17.98 g per 100 g, so most of the 216.51 kcal comes from fat. Iron is 1.64 mg, calcium 26 mg and vitamin C 1.1 mg per 100 g, too small to add a micronutrient bonus.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and recognisable: five dals, ginger, onion, garlic, tomato, dry masala, green chillies, rice and salt. No additives are listed, no hydrogenated fat, and nothing on the pack costs ingredient points.
Every free-from claim on the front matches the list, so there is no hollow label promise either. The only gap is that no percentages are declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 164.1 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Saturated fat is 3.24 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, and it is the largest part of the risk number. Sodium is 164 mg per 100 g, a smaller part.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a role. That keeps risk low.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
