Snack #14: Haldiram’s Kashmiri Mixture
I was very excited to try the Haldiram’s Kashmiri Mixture because I’d never seen it before. Flavor: The Kashmiri Mixture is much spicier than Khatta Meetha or their Plain Bhujia offerings. The mix features a few unique ingredients. The potato sticks are small and slender but provide some nice crunch and variety from the more […]
Snack #13: Xochitl Totopos de Maiz Blue Corn
I have a new favorite tortilla chip, Xochitl Totopos de Maiz Blue Corn. Pronounced like “so cheel,” the flavor is unlike any other I’ve had from a store. They taste just like the ones you get in a Mexican restaurant. They’re softer and less dense than other chips. Like Cheetos you can also eat quite […]
Snack #11: Haldiram’s Khatta Meetha
I’ve previously written about Haldirams here, here and here. The flavors I buy most frequently are the plain Bhujia, Aloo Bhujia. The other flavor I buy whenever possible is called Khatta Meetha. It’s always exciting to find it at Punjabi Deli because it’s a little rarer. It’s described as a “Sweet & Spicy blend” on […]
Snack #10: Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips
I absolutely love Bachman Sweet Potato Tortilla chips. They have the saltiness of standard tortilla chips while providing that unusual sweet from sweet potato flavor. I like to dip them with hummus so it always offers a nice contrast. If you need some variety from standard tortilla chips, these are a great option. From the […]
Snack #8: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia
Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia, are we starting to get serious? This makes twice in a row I bought you over plain jane Bhujia at the legendary Punjabi Deli. Your flavor is extremely different. You have the familiar potato flavor profile but along with it you get a hint of mint (mint powder) and a pleasant citrus […]
Snack #6: Haldiram’s Nut Cracker
Name: Haldiram’s Nut Cracker I’m not usually a big fan of peanuts but as a fan of Haldirams I gave their Nut Cracker product a try. It comes in that odd 7.06 oz packet. They’re described as a “Spicy coated fried peanuts.” They are very tasty. They may be a little spicy for some though […]
Snack #5: Real Deal Veggie Chips
Name: Real Deal! Veggie Chips Strange looking packaging? I guess it’s meant to be on a table, not unlike the roodonfood header image. Anyways, these chips are a strange bowl shape but are very addictive. You clearly taste the sweetness of the peas, the primary ingredient. They’re baked and per the package are 80% less […]
Snack #1: Haldiram’s Plain Bhujia
Name: Haldiram’s Plain Bhujia At the top of the Indian crunchy snack food charts this week is Haldiram’s Plain Bhujia. Flavor: Slightly spicy with a mild sweet aftertaste. Awesome Because: It’s highly addictive. It’s also fun to add into stuff like dal as well. Ingredients: It’s made from tepary beans, Gram Pulse Flour (Chickpea Flour), […]
