Shana's Lacha paratha is folded slightly differently to Shana's original paratha in the manufacturing process. Shana original paratha is folded 24 times which gives it the flakiness and causes it to puff up in the cooking process. Shana Lacha paratha is made with similar ingredients, but by a very different process. The dough is stretched into a long rope and then coiled so that it looks like a spiral. This is then flattened to give it its ‘swirl’ appearance of layers, which only adds to its irresistible taste.

IQF stands for Individual Quick Freezing. It is a type of freezing process that we use for our frozen exotic vegetable range. Shana's vegetables are carefully hand-selected close to the time of harvest from farms that maintain the highest quality and freshness. They are then washed, cut/peeled and quickly individually frozen to ensure that the tenderness, taste and all nutritional goodness is retained. We don’t add any water during the IQF process, providing you with nature’s best.

Shana's frozen exotic vegetables are frozen using the IQF process. We freeze our vegetables within 1-2 hours of harvest; this ensures that our vegetables retain all their nutritional goodness, providing you with natures best. The vegetables that you would buy at markets often take 9-14 days to reach your kitchen, resulting in nutrient loss.
