Clean recipe for a fried snack.

Pack size · 100g

Size

A sweet-and-salt chiwda built on beaten rice, with peanuts and roasted gram running through it and curry leaves and chilli doing the savoury work against a light sweetness. It's fried in cold-pressed sunflower oil rather than a refined blend, and carries no palm oil, no preservative, no flavour enhancer and no added colour — the ingredient list stays short enough to actually read.

A snacking mix suited to tea-time, lunchboxes and everyday munching. Contains peanut.

Buying guide

What to look for in Chiwda?

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.

What's inside
Organic white beaten rice
The base

Poha, the same refined white flakes the brand sells on its own. Light rather than wholegrain.

Organic roasted channa
Note

Roasted gram for crunch and a little protein.

Organic groundnut
Note

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

Organic sugar
Fourth on the list — the 'sweet' half of sweet-and-salt

Total sugars and added sugars are both 4.5 g, so all the sugar here is added.

Organic chilli and curry leaves
Note

The savoury side, from real spice and leaf rather than a seasoning premix.

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 and no artificial colour
