Oh My Daal

With what feels a bit like an empty stomach, we’d like to let you know that this will be Oh My Daal’s last week in operation for now. Although we have to pause, we’re already cooking up plans for what comes next, so watch this space! 👀 But for the next few days the OMD kitchen is open as usual serving you bowls full of Indian that’s healthy 🥙

💛

Will you be our Valentine’s? We’ve just put these delightfully pink Shrewsbury biscuits handmade by on our menu for you to snack on while you ponder over our question ❤️

Before Oh My Daal came into being I used to have a food stall at Chatsworth Road Market. That’s me Soorya 🙋🏽‍♀️ serving up a bowl very much like what you can find at OMD today! All inspired by my Mum’s cooking, all healthy, all delicious.

👩🏽‍🍳 What’s on the menu?

🥚 EGG MASALA BOWL 🥚

Our Egg Masala has a southern Indian flavour, taking us back to trips we’ve made to Kerala. The masala has a tomato and onion base which gets a big flavour add with a mix of tempered spices, curry leaves and tamarind for that tang! The OMD kitchen smells 👌🏽 when this is cooking. Like all our bowls, you choose exactly what goes in your Egg Masala Bowl. Pictured here it’s with broccauli pulao as a base, spinach daal, makka [sweetcorn] and a zesty carrot salad. And those are Barfi Bites on the side, more about those next time…

🥣 CHANA DAAL 🥣

Over the next few weeks we’ll be taking you on a tour of the Oh My Daal menu, so what better place to start than one of the Oh My Daal daals - Chana Daal. Made from the split inner part of chickpeas, it really is the most comforting hug in a bowl 🤗 And we’re making it exactly the way my grandmother does, which brings back memories of family meals around her table where we’d scrape the pot for the very last bit of daal. The split chickpeas are combined with a nourishing mix of garlic, ginger, tomatoes and onions all flavoured with lots from our spice box; turmeric, bay leaf, chilli, cardamom, garam masala and cinnamon. And btw it’s all vegan! I’ve been serving this ever since the supper club days so of course when creating the OMD menu, Chana Daal was always going to be on it.

You can choose to have it as part of your bowl, get a whole pot of it or if you’re feeding the family get it as part of your Feaster order.

Throwback to the very beginning of the Oh My Daal journey, which was Almost Like Mum’s - a supper club that I used to run from my flat in Old St. And that’s me, Soorya on the right with the apron on 🙋🏽‍♀️. As the name suggested, everything on the menu was based on my Mum’s cooking that I had grown up eating - lots of flavour, lots of colour and always lots to eat! And all the while completely nourishing. So no surprise that so much of Almost Like Mum’s has made its way into what we’re feeding you at Oh My Daal today 😋 In fact the very start of the OMD journey was probably even before Almost Like Mum’s, when I hosted some free dinners one summer for everyone in my building. Need to dig up the photos from those…

Happy First Proper Week of 2023! It feels like a good time to introduce Oh My Daal to all of you who have discovered us recently. So hello 👋🏽 We're Oh My Daal, otherwise known as OMD and we're here to feed you the sort of Indian food we LOVE - really tasty and healthy throughout. Our menu has been designed to be your perfectly complete lunch or dinner or both! Posing in this picture are our fully customisable Egg Masala and Vegan Bowls, with some Sweet Potato and Pepper & Peanut Pots (literally) on the side, along with our Apple Chilli Chutney and Raita.

So “where can we find all this delicious?” we hear you ask - we operate from our kitchen in Shoreditch and you can order on , , , and . And of course we're always extra happy to hear from you directly.

With summer making a come back in London (please stay longer 🙏🏽), we’ve been reminiscing about drinking fresh nariyal pani [coconut water] on roadsides in India.

The OMD Fruit Market is now open! We are big fruit lovers at Oh My Daal so we want to share all that good fruitiness with you. Visit our fruit market on and pick out some fresh stuff to go with your OMD 🍏 🍊 🍓 🍌 🍑

These guys have bhindiscovering (we tried 🤓) how popular they are recently - bhindi has definitely been one of the most ordered items on the OMD menu! So it only seems right that they introduce themselves properly...

Bhindi, okra, ladies fingers, gumbo, they go by so many names. Growing up if I was ever asked what vegetable I’d like to eat, bhindi was always the answer (although technically a fruit). A little crispy, a little sticky and flavoured with that classic spice mix, this sabzi says home food like no other for me. So when thinking about what to put on the OMD menu these were #1 on the list. Seeing you guys enjoy them has bhindi (🤷🏽‍♀️) best!

On top of being so damn delicious, okra has a ton of nutritional benefits - double winning 🥳 Some of these include being rich in Vit C, a good source of fibre and are packed with antioxidants. Some studies have also suggested okra can help reduce cholesterol and possibly prevent cancer cell growth 👌

OMD! We’re on the New Restaurant Openings list! Hugely exciting to see us on the same list that we’ve looked through SO many times ourselves to be in the know about London’s new restos 🥳

Pancake Day has us craving Rava Dosas! They’re basically an Indian savoury pancake made out of semolina and they’re DELICIOUS! 🤤

This picture is from one of the many home meals I’ve had in my Mum’s kitchen in India, that has been the inspo behind everything we’re sharing at Oh My Daal

Pinch punch first of the month!

We’ve been testing and tasting and testing some more. And now we are SO excited to share it all with you! From this week Oh My Daal will be available on Deliveroo 🛵

All based on Mum’s Indian recipes, which have been changed up a little to create something really tasty AND healthy throughout, to give you that “oh my daal” feeling 😋👌😍
