About Chanachur
Chanachur, a popular snack in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India and Bangladesh, is a crunchy mix of fried lentils, peanuts, puffed rice, spices, and other savory ingredients. Its bold and tangy flavor comes from a blend of spices like turmeric, chili powder, and black salt, making it a favorite for tea-time or casual munching. Nutritionally, Chanachur provides protein from lentils and peanuts, along with energy from carbohydrates like puffed rice. It usually contains dietary fiber, which aids digestion. However, it's often deep-fried and salted, leading to high levels of fat, calories, and sodium, which can be a concern when consumed in excess. While homemade or baked versions may offer a healthier alternative, Chanachur is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its irresistible taste and satisfying crunch make it a cherished treat across generations.
