Size

A Karnataka tea-time cracker, fried in cold-pressed sunflower oil and built from ingredients you can name. Rice flour gives the short, crisp break; roasted channa and groundnut give it the savoury weight that separates a nippat from a plain rice cracker, with chilli and sesame through it. No palm oil, no maida, no preservative, no flavour enhancer and no colour.

Buying guide

What to look for in Nippat?

Read what it is actually made of. Besan or millet should lead. Maida near the top means refined wheat flour in a different shape.
Check which oil it was fried in. Palm oil and unnamed 'edible vegetable oil' blends are the default in packaged namkeen.
TBHQ (INS 319) is the usual antioxidant in fried snacks. A pack without it has a shorter shelf life, which is the honest trade.
MSG shows up as 'flavour enhancer (INS 621)'. A properly spiced snack does not need it.

Rice flour rather than maida, which gives nippat its short, crisp break.

Organic roasted channa
Roasted gram for body and nuttiness

Appears twice in the recipe, second and fifth by weight.

Organic groundnut
Note

Peanut, third on the list and so present in quantity. A major allergen.

The heat, from actual chilli rather than a seasoning premix.

Organic sesame

And a second major allergen.

Organic cold-pressed sunflower oil
The frying medium

Packaged namkeen usually uses palm oil or a blended vegetable oil.

Seasoning

Salt is a mineral and cannot be certified organic.

Questions people ask

Does nippat contain peanuts or sesame?

Yes, both. Organic groundnut is third on the list and sesame is also in the recipe. It is not suitable for anyone with a peanut or sesame allergy.

What is nippat made of?

Organic rice flour, roasted channa, groundnut, chilli powder and sesame, with salt, fried in organic cold-pressed sunflower oil. Everything is organic except the salt.

How is it different from a regular nippat?

There is no maida, palm oil, preservative (TBHQ), MSG or synthetic colour. Regular versions commonly use some of these.

Is it a light snack?

No. It is deep-fried. The oil is cold-pressed sunflower rather than palm or refined oil, but it is still a fried food.
