If you're after Ashoka Garlic Naan or the Ashoka Jumbo Punjabi Samosa in Los Angeles, both live in our freezer at Anoras Cash N Carry, 567 S Fairfax Ave in the Fairfax District. The garlic naan comes as a 2 lb value pack around $12.10, and the jumbo samosas run about $27.50 for 25 pieces. You can grab them in store, open daily 10 AM–9 PM, or have them delivered across our 10-mile radius. Here's what each one actually is, how to cook it so it tastes like it came out of a tandoor, and what else from the Ashoka frozen line is worth a spot in your freezer.

Who makes Ashoka, and why is it all over the Indian freezer aisle?

Ashoka is one of the most widely stocked frozen Indian brands in the U.S., and it's the workhorse of a well-run freezer for a simple reason: it does the slow, fussy work for you. Rolling and slapping naan onto a tandoor wall, or folding a proper Punjabi samosa with a crisp, blistered shell, takes practice and time most weeknights don't allow. Ashoka par-cooks all of that, freezes it, and leaves you the easy last step. What sets the line apart is range. You're not choosing between one naan and one samosa; you're choosing across garlic, tandoori and plain naans, and samosas that run from cocktail-size minis to a single jumbo that eats like a meal. That's why it earns a permanent shelf in our Frozen Foods aisle.

Takeaway: Ashoka is the brand to reach for when you want restaurant-style bread and snacks without the restaurant-style effort.

How good is Ashoka Garlic Naan, and how do you cook it?

The Ashoka Garlic Naan Value Pack is a 2 lb bag — usually five to six full-size naans — brushed with garlic and coriander and already tandoor-baked, so it's soft in the middle with those charred bubbles on top. At roughly $12.10 for the pack, it's a fraction of what two naans cost at a sit-down restaurant.

Skip the microwave; it turns naan rubbery. The move is high, dry heat. Put a naan straight onto a rack in a 400°F oven for four to five minutes, or onto a hot tawa or cast-iron pan for a minute or two a side until the edges char and the surface puffs. An air fryer at 350°F for three minutes works beautifully too. Finish with a little ghee or butter while it's hot, and you've closed the gap between freezer and tandoor almost completely.

Takeaway: One 2 lb pack covers a family dinner; cook it hot and dry, then brush with ghee.

What's in the Ashoka Jumbo Punjabi Samosa (25 pc)?

The Ashoka Jumbo Punjabi Samosa is the big one — a hefty, hand-folded pastry stuffed with spiced potato and peas in the Punjabi halwai style, sold 25 to a box for about $27.50. That works out to roughly a dollar a samosa, and because each one is jumbo, two or three make a genuine lunch rather than a nibble. These are the samosas you want for a party, a cricket match, or a Sunday when people are dropping by.

Deep-frying from frozen gives the crispest, bubbliest shell: 325–350°F oil for six to eight minutes until deep golden. If you'd rather not fry, brush them with oil and bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, turning once, or air-fry at 375°F for about 15 minutes. Don't thaw first — frozen-to-hot is what keeps the pastry from going soggy. Serve with tamarind and mint chutneys and a pot of chai.

Takeaway: The 25-pc jumbo box is your entertaining default; fry from frozen for the crunch, bake or air-fry for an easier cleanup.

Which other Ashoka frozen items are worth buying?

If garlic isn't your thing, the Ashoka Tandoori Naan (2 lb, about $12.10) is the plain, all-purpose version — the one that goes with everything from butter chicken to a simple dal. For smaller households or bulk snackers, the Ashoka Potato Peas Samosa gives you 50 regular-size samosas for around $9.90, the best value in the range for feeding a crowd. And when you want something a little dressier, the Ashoka Mini Peas Paneer Samosa (20 pc, about $8.80) is bite-size and party-ready, alongside mini spinach-paneer and jalapeno-cheese versions on the same shelf.

Takeaway: Match the pack to the moment — jumbo for a meal, 50-pc regulars for value, minis for a spread.

How do you keep frozen naan and samosas tasting fresh?

Three habits do most of the work. First, keep everything frozen until the moment you cook — the ice in the pastry and dough is what steams them tender inside while the outside crisps. Second, use hotter, drier heat than you think: an oven rack, a tawa, or an air fryer beats a microwave every time. Third, reseal the bag tightly and press out the air so a stray naan or two doesn't pick up freezer burn before you get back to them. Cooked and stored this way, a bag opened tonight is just as good three weeks from now.

Takeaway: Frozen till the pan, high dry heat, and an airtight bag — that's the whole trick.
