In Pursuit of the Palate | Karan A Chanana.

For the past nine years I have been at the helm of Amira Foods, a company started by my great grandfather in 1915, and has continued to be run by my family for the past 100 years. This has been an experience that I have relished and I see myself as the custodian of a company that has been an integral part of my family’s heritage for a century. One of the excellent things about this experience is that it has also enabled me to engage with and develop my passion for food and flavour over the years.

 Basmati rice is a delicacy that I have adored for

 my entire life and is something that we are 

incredibly passionate about at the Amira Group.
