Shangrila

Shangrila has been making Pakistani table sauces since 1988 — and if you have eaten samosas at a roadside hotel anywhere in Punjab, you have almost certainly eaten Shangrila ketchup. AkBaat carries around 30 Shangrila items in Kasur.

The Range

Ketchup, in every size that exists. From the 10ml sachet to family bottles to the 100-piece sachet box for shops and events.

Chilli and garlic sauces. Garlic chilli sachets and bottles — the pakora dip.

Achar. Mixed pickle in jars from 200g to 1kg plus Rs-priced pouches, with the traditional mustard-oil sharpness.

Sirka. Food-grade vinegar in 275ml and 500ml bottles for cooking and pickling.

Buying Tips

• Bottle beats sachet at home — sachets cost more per gram; they exist for stalls and travel.
• Achar pouches vs jars: pouches suit trying a flavour; the 1kg jar is the family commitment.
• Sirka is dual-purpose: a capful in rice keeps grains white; diluted, it cuts kitchen grease.
• Hosting? One large ketchup + one garlic chilli covers 95% of Pakistani snack tables.
