Namkeen

Namkeens are a diverse and popular category of savory Indian snacks known for their rich flavors and textures. Made from ingredients like gram flour, rice flour, lentils, and various spices, they range from crispy and crunchy to soft and flaky. Integral to Indian culture, Namkeens are enjoyed during festivals, daily tea-time, and as quick snacks. While traditionally made at home, they are widely available from renowned brands. Although often deep-fried and high in salt, healthier baked or roasted options are now available. Their popularity has spread globally, appealing to a wide audience beyond India.
