That the Parliament congratulates Perth-based Indian cuisine supplier, Praveen Kumar, who has secured his first ever supermarket listing to supply 11 new lines of authentic Indian frozen ready meals into 56 Asda stores across Scotland; understands that Praveen’s career within the hospitality industry has seen him work in some of the world’s most prestigious five-star establishments, such as Gleneagles and Turnberry, before settling in Perth and opening Tabla Restaurant in 2009, the first Indian restaurant in Scotland to receive an AA Rosette; further understands that Praveen uses fresh local ingredients, and spices from his family farm in India, to give an authentic taste, and that the meals are blast-frozen to lock in flavour without the need for any additives, colourings or preservatives, and wishes Praveen Kumar all the best for the future.
