CLEANClean recipe for a fried snack.

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.

Ingredients

Organic rice flour

The base

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.

Organic chilli powder

Note

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

Organic sesame

Traditional in Karnataka fried snacks

And a second major allergen.

Organic cold-pressed sunflower oil

The frying medium

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

Salt

Seasoning

Salt is a mineral and cannot be certified organic.

Not present

No preservative, no TBHQ, no MSG or flavour enhancer, no artificial colour and no maida

All four are standard in this aisle.

03

What to look for in Nippat?
01

Read what it is actually made of. Besan or millet should lead. Maida near the top means refined wheat flour in a different shape.

02

Check which oil it was fried in. Palm oil and unnamed 'edible vegetable oil' blends are the default in packaged namkeen.

03

TBHQ (INS 319) is the usual antioxidant in fried snacks. A pack without it has a shorter shelf life, which is the honest trade.

04

MSG shows up as 'flavour enhancer (INS 621)'. A properly spiced snack does not need it.
