Makhana

The quest for a healthy substitute for junk snacks such as chips and puffs never ends. Fortunately, there is a viable option in the form of makhana.

Beaten Moong

This snack has long been sold on the streets of India and is finally receiving the acclaim it deserves. Beaten moong is now accessible as a packaged snack and may be purchased locally or online.

Gur Chana

Gur Chana was popularised by some of the world's largest organic food brands. This traditional Indian healthful snack's taste and nutritional benefits are unquestionable.

Murmure/Puffed Rice

Murmure, or puffed rice, is a common foundation for many namkeens and mixtures on the market. They are easy on the stomach and make an excellent mid-day snack.

Whole Wheat Biscuits

The biscuits we enjoy with our cup of chai are frequently flour-based, which is bad for our gut health. Fortunately, many organic food companies sell wheat biscuits, which are a far superior alternative.

Khakhra Chips

This favourite Gujarati snack has spread throughout the country. Khakhra is lighter on the stomach and a healthier alternative to packaged junk food.

Sprouts

Sprouting has been shown to increase the nutritional value of grains and aid digestion. They can even be tasty if properly cooked and served with chopped vegetables.

Bhelpuri is a savoury dish comprised of puffed rice, peanuts, and vegetables seasoned with spices. It can be loaded with nuts and herbs to make an excellent quick Indian snack.

Dhokla

It is created with fermented chickpea and rice batter and is one of Gujarat's most famous Indian snacks. Dhokla can be a delicious snack or a light breakfast.
