The holiday season is upon us, bringing with it seasonal gifts, greeting cards, and warm & cozy family gatherings. At the heart of these celebrations is the classic Christmas dinner, a time-honored tradition that brings joy and comfort. However, preparing a festive feast can sometimes be daunting. This year, let’s simplify the process without compromising on taste or tradition, with a little help from Shana Foods.
Appetizers & light bites
Start your meal with appetizers that are delicious yet easy to prepare.
Quick mini pizzas
Use Shana’s plain naan or original parathas as a base for mini pizzas. Top with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and traditional pizza toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, and onions. Bake until the cheese melts and the edges are crispy.
Vegetable stuffed paratha rolls
You can use Shana’s mixed veg or aloo gobi parathas as wraps for a filling of roasted turkey or chicken for a hearty appetizer or a light meal.
Turia roasted vegetables
No Christmas dinner is complete without some side dishes. Shana’s products can add a unique touch to these too. Mix Shana’s turia and okra with traditional root vegetables and roast with herbs for a simple, flavorful side. Add some chopped spinach for a leafy touch if you want to add some greens.
Shredded coconut mashed potatoes
Level up your mashed potatoes by blending in Shana’s shredded coconut. This addition brings a sweet, nutty flavor and a lovely texture contrast.
Traditional main course… but with a twist
Many of us cherish the classic Christmas dishes – roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables. But why not add a touch of uniqueness to these old & well-loved recipes?
Vegetable paratha pie
Swap out the regular pie crust with Shana’s mixed veg or aloo gobi paratha. Fill it with a hearty mix of roasted winter veggies like our chopped spinach and cheese, and you have a savory pie that’s both comforting and novel.
Paratha wrapped roast
Another yummy idea: take out Shana’s plain lacha paratha and wrap beef or chicken in the paratha before roasting until it’s golden brown and crispy.
Desserts & sweets
End your Christmas feast on a high note with desserts that blend traditional flavors with our exclusive products.
Nanaimo bars
A rich base made from butter, sugar, and Shana shredded coconut, topped with silky buttercream and homemade chocolate ganache. It’s a sweet treat that perfectly captures the holiday spirit.
Chikoo and pear crumble
Make a dessert using Shana’s chikoo and fresh pears. Top with a crumble mixture of flour, butter, and sugar, and bake until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Paratha bread pudding
You can transform Shana’s parathas into a delightful bread pudding. Soaked in a rich mixture of eggs, milk, and spices, and then baked to perfection, this dessert is a festive twist on classic comfort food.
So, with Shana, your Christmas dinner preparation becomes easier, leaving you more time to enjoy with loved ones.
