Shana Karela is sliced bitter gourd, the knobbly green vegetable known as karela, foo gwa or margose, hand picked, washed, cut and frozen so it is ready for the pan whenever you need it. Shana freezes its vegetables close to harvest using individual quick freezing with no added water, so the rings stay separate and keep their colour and firm bite. Karela has a clean, bitter flavour that is prized in Gujarati, Punjabi and South Indian kitchens, and frozen slices save all the trimming and seeding.

How to use it
The recipe on the back is for crispy karela. Make a paste of ginger, green chillies, 1 tbsp dhanajeera powder and lemon juice. Heat 4 tbsp oil in a karahi or wok and fry 1 chopped large onion until golden brown. Add the paste and a chopped tomato and cook until soft, then add 300g Shana Karela and stir. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes before adding ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp chilli powder, 30g jaggery and salt, then continue to cook and stir until the karela turns crisp, about 10 minutes. Garnish with coriander and serve with parathas or chapattis.
