CLEANSeven organic ingredients, zero additives.

Palak Chakli is a crunchy spiral-shaped savoury snack made with organic spinach folded into a rice flour and roasted gram base. Each spiral is fried in cold-pressed sunflower oil and seasoned simply with chilli, sesame and salt, giving it a green-flecked appearance and a clean, mildly spiced flavour. The texture is firm and brittle rather than oily, and it breaks with an audible snap. It suits tea-time plates, lunchboxes and chaat toppings without relying on preservatives, artificial colours or flavour enhancers.

Why We Like It

The green here is actually spinach and not a colour code.
Seven ingredients, cold-pressed oil instead of refined palm, and nothing in the list we have to explain away.
681 mg of sodium per 100 g — it is still a fried, salted snack.

Ingredients

Rice Flour (organic)

Base flour

Gives the chakli its brittle, short bite.

Roasted Channa (organic)

Roasted gram flour

Binds the dough and carries most of the protein.

Spinach (organic)

The palak in palak chakli

Colour and flavour from the leaf itself, not a green colourant.

Chilli (organic)

Note

Whole-spice heat; no flavour enhancer or masala premix.

Sesame (organic)

Traditional seasoning seed

Nutty note and visible speckle. Allergen.

Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil (organic)

Frying and dough fat

Expeller/cold pressed rather than refined, solvent-extracted oil.

Salt

Seasoning

Salt cannot be certified organic; it drives the 681 mg/100 g sodium.

What to look for in Chakli?

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.
