An Ayrshire food producer has launched their latest product for supermarket Aldi in time for Burns Night.
Punjab Pakora have once again combined their traditional Indian cuisine with Scottish flavours to create a square sausage pakora.
The spicy take on the breakfast staple will launch exclusively in Aldi’s stores across Scotland this week ahead of Burns Night on Saturday, January 25.
Bringing together classic Scottish flavour with a creative flair, the bite-sized square sausage treats are lightly fried and come with a spicy tomato and chilli dip.
Retailing at £1.99 for six pieces, Aldi say they are the perfect addition to seasonal celebrations.
Previously, the Ayr -based food producer has developed special beer battered and iron brew pakoras for Aldi and they are hoping this latest addition proves to be another instant classic.
Family-run Punjab Pakora is looking forward to a bumper 2025 with its sell-out iron brew pakora set for a comeback, while its cauliflower bites will also be launching permanently in Aldi stores from March.
Dhruv Duggal, director at Punjab Pakora, said: “We’re excited to unveil our newest creation for Aldi stores, bringing together a perfect fusion of classic Scottish flavour with a twist.
“The Aldi Scotland team are fantastic partners, sharing our passion for delivering innovative, high-quality products to customers. With an exciting line-up of launches planned for this year, we’re delighted to kick things off with a unique taste experience for everyone to enjoy this Burns Night.”
Graham Nicolson, group buying director at Aldi Scotland, said: “This year, we’re toasting the innovation of our suppliers for Burns Night. Punjab Pakora is consistently thinking of new ways to excite and delight consumers, and we know this latest offering will go down an absolute treat with them.
“Working closely with our suppliers across the country, our buying team are always on the look-out for exciting new products that capture the imagination and showcase the best Scotland has to offer while delivering great value to our customers.”
Aldi and Punjab Pakora have worked together for the last 10 years as the Ayrshire firm has grown from the kitchen of the Duggal family’s fish and chip shop business to become one of Aldi’s most successful suppliers, selling more than three million pieces of its much-loved pakora each year.
Punjab Pakora’s square sausage pakora will be available as a Specialbuy across Aldi’s 109 Scottish stores, while stocks last.
