Craze for namkeen and pani puri

Think of an evening in India and you cannot divert your appetite away from the mouth watering snacks like namkeen, chaat, and vegetable snacks. Well when it comes to namkeen , it can be consumed any hour of the day; you need not wait for the evening to approach! No wonder with people’s craving for namkeen and other snack food items on the rise, the snack industry is only witnessing a big boom. It is usual to find many involved in the snack industry via groceries, food outlets, namkeen outlet, and the like. Yes, snacking is still at an embryonic stage in India. At this stage, the snack industry is already contributing majorly to the GDP. Being appallingly fragmented and comprehensively unorganized, this industry is yet to witness growth in terms of corporate culture. This is because local products still reign supreme suiting the pocket of lower income groups. In such cases food safety and standards are not followed. There are few sweet and snacks brands that follow the strictest of quality and hygiene standards as per international norms. Such brands are already reputed in the market. It will take years for the Indian snack industry to be organized.

What are the items that flash in your mind when you think of namkeen? Right from aloo bhujia, ratlami sev, peanuts, badam lacha, bikeneri bhujia, chana masala, cornflakes mixture, dal moth, ganthiya to kaju mixture, kashmiri mixture, khatta meetha, khoka bhujia, matar masala, moong daal, navratan mixture, peanut masala, and more, every item is bound to water your mouth. There are also local vendors that prepare namkeen items without following the accepted quality standards. Consuming such items may affect your health. So, have namkeen items that are packed and that which are processed and prepared by renowned brands known for delivering the best quality; check the manufacturing and expiry date as well.

Amid the chaat items, it is the pani puri that is savored the most. It is a common sight in busy streets, especially during evenings to find people having pani puri at the stalls. But are you aware of the fact that dust accumulates in the puris and accompaniments consuming which may affect your health. There is no guarantee that the snack is prepared the hygienic way though it may be very delicious. It is advisable that you have pani puri
only from a brand outlet known for offering quality chaat the hygienic way.
