Chatkins Bhujiya — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Chatkins Bhujiya by chatkins TREAT — score 45/90.
This is bhujiya the way it's been made for a century: moth dal flour, gram flour, a real spice cabinet, and a hot bath of refined oil. Nothing artificial, nothing engineered — just honest deep-fried indulgence. Enjoy it like the treat it is, not a protein snack.
Why this verdict
- Base is genuine legume flours — moth dal and besan bring real protein and fiber
- The spice list is honestly named: clove, cardamom, mace, cinnamon, fennel — no vague 'flavorings' or enhancers
- Deep-fried in unnamed refined oil — a heavy fat load is the price of the crunch
- Iodised salt in a namkeen means sodium runs high per handful
- Zero artificial colors, flavor enhancers, or preservatives — indulgent but simple, the textbook TREAT
