What to know about Go!Dry Paneer Makhani Rice Combo
A paneer rice meal that is not protein rich
Go!Dry Paneer Makhani Rice Combo is a 75 g pouch of dry, ready-to-eat rice meal built from basmati rice, paneer, tomato, onion, garlic, edible vegetable oil, butter, milk and a spice mix of salt, cumin, garam masala and chilli. No percentages are declared. The pack says 75 g makes 250 ml in about 5 minutes, which suits a desk, a trip or a hostel room.
Per 100 g the pack shows 156 kcal, 3.6 g protein, 10.3 g carbohydrate, 3.1 g fibre and 12 g fat, of which 1.9 g is saturated. Sodium is 139 mg and added sugar is 0 g. The pack states these values are for the dry mix, before water is added.
The name promises paneer makhani, and the list does carry paneer, butter and tomato. The front also says Protein Rich, and the retailer page says high in protein, calcium and fibre, but 3.6 g protein per 100 g does not support that. That hollow claim sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]DB1.
Does Go!Dry Paneer Makhani Rice Combo live up to its claims?
Preservative Free holds, but Protein Rich does not. Protein is 3.6 g per 100 g, under the 11 g line, and the listing's high in protein, calcium and fibre is not borne out by the panel.
- On the packMisleading
“Protein Rich”
Protein is 3.6 g per 100 g, under the 11 g needed, and 2.31 g per 100 kcal, under the 5.5 g line. Paneer is in the list, but the total is low.
- Retail listingBe careful
“High in protein, calcium, and fiber”
The retailer page shows high in protein, calcium and fibre, the pack shows 3.6 g protein, 24.7 mg calcium and 3.12 g fibre per 100 g. Only fibre is moderate.
- On the packHolds
“Preservative Free”
No preservative or other additive is listed. The only additives-type items are salt and spices.
- On the packBe careful
“Palm Oil Free”
Palm oil is not named, but the fat is listed only as edible vegetable oil, with butter, so the type of oil is not stated.
- On the packBe careful
“Cholesterol Free”
The panel declares 0 mg cholesterol, yet paneer, butter and milk are on the list. The claim matches the panel, but it is framed generously.
Why Go!Dry Paneer Makhani Rice Combo scores [L]DB1
Nutrition is a D because protein is only 3.6 g per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a short, additive-free list, held back by the Protein Rich claim. Risk is a 1: saturated fat 1.9 g, sodium 139 mg.

- Iron, Calcium, Vitamin C
- Energy
- 156 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 3.6 g per 100 g, which is 2.31 g per 100 kcal, and that is under the 5.5 g line, so it earns little credit. Paneer is the largest source of protein, but the rice and fat dominate the mix. Fibre is 3.12 g per 100 g.
Micronutrients are small: 1.44 mg iron, 24.7 mg calcium and 0.53 mg vitamin C per 100 g. Energy is 156 kcal per 100 g with 12 g fat, so the grade stays low.
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 B
The list is short and plain: basmati rice, paneer, tomato, onion, garlic, oil, butter, milk and spices. No additives are listed, no hydrogenated fat is present and added sugar is 0 g. That is why ingredients reach a B.
The Protein Rich claim on the front is not supported at 3.6 g per 100 g, which costs label points and sets the [L] flag. Missing percentages for paneer and the other ingredients also limit the grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is a 1. Saturated fat is 1.9 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line, and sodium is 139 mg per 100 g.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, and energy adds nothing to the risk grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
