Namkeen is a savory snack that originates from Indian cuisine and is cherished for its flavorful and crunchy textures. It typically consists of ingredients like fried lentils, nuts, chickpea flour, rice flakes, spices, and herbs, offering a delightful blend of salty, spicy, and tangy notes. Varieties of Namkeen may include sev, bhujia, chivda, and masala peanuts, each with unique ingredients and preparation styles. While Namkeen is a beloved treat, it is often deep-fried and seasoned with considerable salt, which can lead to high calorie and sodium content. Despite this, some versions include nutrient-rich components like lentils and nuts, providing protein and healthy fats. Opting for baked or roasted alternatives and consuming it in moderation can make Namkeen a more balanced snack choice. It’s a versatile and delicious addition to Indian mealtimes or as a standalone treat.
