Really loving Paro ❤️
My partner and I just had the Masoor Daal for dinner and it was totally delightful.
I followed the instructions on the box and it was super easy to make - basically just add water and boil.
I topped mine with a big scoop of the Tarka and that was my favorite part.
DELICIOUSLY SIMPLE

Key Ingredients
RED LENTILS
Earthy, slightly sweet red legumes that cook quickly for the perfect healthy dinner.
TUMERIC
An aromatic spice with incredible anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting properties.
CORIANDER SEED
Crunchy, bright, nutty little seeds that are as good for your digestion as they are for your taste buds.
CURRY LEAF
Similar to bay leaf but fully edible! Hand-sifted in our Daal to retain its full curry flavor.
EVERYONE LOVES PARO
We will definitely purchase again!
Purchased this for my boyfriend, who is Pakistani. He really enjoyed the kitchari (reminded him of his mom's cooking!) and puts the tarka on everything. We will definitely purchase again!
Rare to find a brand that really nails the homemade taste so perfectly
I just received my first order from Paro and it DEFINITELY won't be the last. This is probably the best boxed, easy-to-prepare meal I've ever had.
Super Tasty!!!
Super tasty, nutritious, and quick. Amazing stuff to have in your pantry for a healthy meal or side dish.
HOW IT STARTED
I will always want to eat my ami’s food and Pakistani food more than anything else.
When I left home, my mom would send me little ziplock bags with her own special lentil and spice mix.
All I had to do was add water, cook for 30 minutes, and I had my mom’s food–my comfort food.
HOW IT’S GOING
I’ve packaged these personal recipes for classic South Asian dishes so you can cook them at home and share with your friends and family - because comfort food is meant to be shared.
And that’s the Paro story.
