The wraps are curried meats and vegetables wrapped in a dhalpuri roti or paratha roti. They are offered in two sizes. The smaller size is with dhalpuri only, not paratha. Frozen Foods Roti Freezer Packs The “freezer-pack” product was developed for those busy persons who wish to have roti always readily available in the refrigerator. Freshly cooked rotis (dhalpuris, parathas or aloopuris) are cooled, rolled and cut in half. The halves are individually sealed in plastic, and ten pieces (ie. five rotis) are placed in a clear plastic container for convenient freezer storage. The freezer packs remain in our freezers no more than a few days.
Our testing shows that it can remain in a freezer for six months and still look, feel and taste fresh after thawing. The method for thawing and heating the frozen rotis is as follows: Take one or more pieces from the box. Cut open the plastic wrap, remove and place in microwave for about one minute. (You may cover the thawing roti with a sheet of paper towel before microwaving). Take out the roti piece and unroll gently. Replace in microwave for approximately 45 seconds. It should be hot and soft. Serve hot. Sweets and Ice Cream Gulab

(Contact us for details) | | We take care to ensure that non-meat ingredients also are halal. What is Halal? | | | | | | | Definition of Halal - The word Halal means "lawful". In the case of meats it | | refers to meat of animals slaughtered in a humane way with the name of God | | being mentioned while the slaughtering is taking place. | | | It is basically a way of recognizing and acknowledging the fact that life is sacred and that the life of the animal | | can be taken, and the meat eaten only with the permission of God. The act of slaughtering the | | animal must be a sober one reflecting this awareness. In addition all the blood must be drained from the animal, unlike other ways of slaughtering where much of the blood remains in the animal. _________________________________________________________________________ Oils and fats: We use only corn oil or soyabean oil for frying or cooking. When making Parathas we use only Soya margarine. Best quality ingredients: We strive to use only the best quality ingredients in our products. No eggs in most of our products We do not use eggs in most of our products with the exception of a few products in our Bakery. For some of the eggless products we make the pastry 'yellow' by using a mixture of milk with a touch of food colouring. Roti for "Prayers" Some of our customers order roti for religious functions and require that the rotis do not come into contact with meat or eggs. At Alima's we have the ideal facility to accomodate these requests. We have two separate kitchens, and in one we cook only rotis (Dhalpuris, Parathas, Aloopuris), and in the other we cook the curries, meats etc. Also the staff who cook the rotis do not cook the curries. The untensils we use for each kitchen are also separate. | | | | |
