    Farm to Blast Freezer

    Our Manufacturing Process

    Ten meticulous steps transform Nilgiri mountain potatoes into premium blast frozen french fries.

    STAGE 01 / 10
    1. Stage 01

      Harvesting

      Hand-harvested fresh potatoes from the red soil of the Nilgiri mountains at 7,000 ft elevation — where the cool climate produces the finest starch content.

    2. Stage 02

      Washing

      Triple-stage washing removes every trace of soil and debris, prepping each potato for inspection.

    3. Stage 03

      Peeling

      Gentle steam-peeling preserves the nutrient-rich layer just under the skin.

    4. Stage 04

      Cutting

      Precision blades cut uniform 9mm, 10mm and 11mm fries for consistent cooking.

    5. Stage 05

      Blanching

      A controlled hot-water bath sets colour, deactivates enzymes and locks in texture.

    6. Stage 06

      Par-Frying

      A short par-fry in pure vegetable oil creates the golden crust that crisps perfectly when reheated.

    7. Stage 07

      De-oiling

      Centrifugal de-oiling removes excess fat for a cleaner, lighter bite.

    8. Stage 08

      Blast Freezing

      Rapid −35 °C blast freezing locks in flavour, texture and nutrients within minutes.

    9. Stage 09

      Packaging

      Food-grade barrier packaging in 500 g, 1 kg and 2.5 kg formats keeps every fry market-fresh.

    10. Stage 10

      Logistics

      Cold-chain dispatch across India ensures the fries reach you exactly as they left our facility.
