Aldi Scotland is reintroducing one of its most talked-about festive products, the square sausage pakora, to stores across Scotland ahead of Christmas.
The product first launched earlier this year and sold out quickly, with shoppers clearing shelves during its limited run in January 2025. Its return responds to strong customer demand during the festive season.
Developed in partnership with Ayrshire-based producer Punjab Pakora, the square sausage pakora combines traditional Scottish square sausage with a pakora-style coating. The snack is lightly fried and served with a tomato and chilli dip. The six-pack (200g) is priced at £1.89 and is available in Aldi stores across Scotland for Christmas.
Punjab Pakora has built a reputation for adapting familiar flavours into new formats, including beer-battered pakoras and Iron Brew-inspired recipes. The business is preparing for further growth in 2025.
Dhruv Duggal, Director at Punjab Pakora, said:
“The reaction to our square sausage pakora was unbelievable, and we’re thrilled to bring it back for Christmas. Aldi Scotland has been an incredible partner in helping us deliver bold, creative flavours to customers, and we can’t wait to share even more in the year ahead.”
Alan Leslie, Buying Director, at Aldi Scotland, added:
“We’ve never seen demand quite like it. Punjab Pakora continue to push boundaries and excite our shoppers, and it’s fantastic to welcome this viral favourite back to stores for the festive season alongside an exciting range of unique and flavourful products.”
Punjab Pakora has worked with Aldi Scotland for more than ten years. What began in the Duggal family’s fish and chip shop kitchen has grown into one of the retailer’s established local supply partnerships, with the business now selling more than three million pakoras each year through Aldi Scotland stores.
