Nippat

A flat, crisp savoury disc from Karnataka, made with certified organic rice flour and fried in cold-pressed oil per the brand. Nippat is the crunchier, coarser cousin of the mathri, usually studded with peanuts and curry leaves and carrying a mild chilli warmth, traditionally eaten with coffee. Like most of this range, its distinction from supermarket equivalents is in sourcing rather than form: organic flours, spice seasoning instead of flavour enhancer, and cold-pressed oil in place of the palm or refined soybean oil that the packaged-snack industry runs on. What that does not alter is the basic nature of the thing. It is deep-fried, dense and salty, and it belongs in the occasional-snack category regardless of how the inputs were farmed. Kept at Caution on a narrow point — the frying oil is a range-level claim rather than one confirmed on this SKU's own listing, and with fried food that is the detail that most determines the answer.
