Why We Like It

What to look for in Chakli?
01
Check which oil the snack was fried in. Palm oil and unnamed 'edible vegetable oil' blends are the default in packaged namkeen.
02
TBHQ (INS 319) is the usual antioxidant in fried snacks. A pack without it has a shorter shelf life, which is the honest trade.
03
MSG appears as flavour enhancer INS 621. A snack with real spices in it does not need one.
