Available for purchase in [Tesco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurkure-chilli-chatka) supermarket locations, the 'Grills' potato-based snacks are designed for easy sharing and are just as good enjoyed on their own as they are as an accompaniment to a carbonated beverage. These snacks are available in five delicious versions that comprise sweet chilli, jalapano, peri peri, cheese and onion, and chili and lemon. Harry Dulai, managing director of Surya Foods, the company which owns the Laila brand, said the new product range helps to bring Indian snack flavors to the British market. “As such we are delighted to get fully behind this exciting brand extension to bring the aromas and flavours of Asia’s bustling food markets and other much-loved world flavours to UK consumers," said Dulai.
