Whether it is the hour-long simmer for our Butter Chicken gravy or hand-chopping fresh seasonal greens for our Sarso da Saag, nothing here is pre-made. When you order from us, you get a home-cooked meal prepared exactly the same way I would make it for my own family. Transparency is the core of DefCol Rasoi. We source everything fresh, starting with the vegetables. I personally handpick the produce and grind our spices because the flavor difference is real. You won't find commercial spice mixes, preservatives, or stale batches here. ### Why our process matters * **Slow Cooking:** Our Dal Makhani and gravies like Butter Chicken simmer for hours to develop deep, consistent flavors. We do not take shortcuts. * **Seasonal Focus:** In winter, you will find us prepping fresh Sarso da Saag using hand-cut mustard leaves, spinach, and bathua. * **Quality Control:** Cooking in pure (shudh) desi ghee isn't just a claim. It makes the food light on the stomach and keeps it healthy for your guests. We serve the South Delhi area, ensuring your food stays hot and fresh from our kitchen to your dining table. If you want to know about our sourcing or have specific dietary preferences, just ask. We keep it simple, honest, and completely transparent. ## About DefCol Rasoi I’m Sneha, and this kitchen is my passion project. I started DefCol Rasoi because I believe everyone in Delhi deserves a meal that tastes like it came straight from a mother’s kitchen, not a commercial factory.
