Butter Chakli — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Butter Chakli by Charliee TREAT — score 45/90.
A deep-fried Indian spiral snack with a short, recognizable ingredient list, but it's basically refined flour fried in palm oil. Indulgent, not nutritious.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in refined palmolein oil (29%, the #2 ingredient)
- Mostly refined starch (tapioca flour) with little real nutrition
- Very high fat and saturated fat for a snack (~30g/17g per 100g)
- Simple, recognizable ingredients with no artificial additives
- An occasional crunchy treat, not an everyday food
Ingredients (5)
- Tapioca Flour (moderate) — Refined starch used as a gluten-free base; fast-digesting carbohydrate
- Refined Palmolein Oil (moderate) — Refined vegetable oil, high in saturated fat and heavily processed.
- Black Matpe Flour (Urad Dal) (safe) — Ground black gram lentil flour; a genuine whole-food ingredient adding some protein and structure.
- Iodised Salt (safe) — Adds sodium and iodine; fine in moderation.
- BUTTER (moderate) — Real dairy fat; fine in small amounts but saturated.
