KQF, the British halal food manufacturer, has announced the launch of its KQF Mosa range, a series of ready-frozen, samosa-style convenience foods, coated in pastry, breadcrumbs or tempura batter.
The products in the new Mosa range are certified halal by the Halal Monitoring Committee. They are produced under a quality assurance system that has achieved a ‘Grade A’ rating under the British Retail Consortium standard for food.
In addition to conventional filo pastry, the products are also wrapped in a light tempura-style batter and a golden crumb.
The fillings range from traditional ingredients such as spiced lamb or mixed vegetables to more ‘international’ flavours, such as chicken in jalapeno sauce.
“With the new Mosas, we’ve set out to create, in effect, a new category of convenience foods,” said KQF md Faruk Vali.
“They combine the simplicity of traditional samosas with a range of new flavours and textures. They’re the result of a lot of trials and new product development work, but we think customers will also sense something familiar about them.
“They’re a similar size and shape to samosas, they’re just as easy to cook, and they work well either as a party food or on the dinner table. The big differences are the choices of coatings and fillings.”
