A deep-fried sweet-and-spicy snack made from simple, recognizable ingredients, but it's indulgent: refined flour, two sugar sources, and 36g of fat per 100g.

Why this verdict

• Deep-fried in oil: 36g fat and 544 kcal per 100g
• Two sugar sources (sugar syrup + sugar) added for sweetness
• Built on refined wheat flour, low in fiber
• Upside: no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

Ingredients (14)

• Refined wheat flour (moderate) — Refined, stripped of bran and fiber; spikes blood sugar faster than whole grain.
• Refined Vegetable Oil (Peanut Oil) (moderate) — Deep-frying medium; drives the high fat and calorie load.
• Sugar Syrup (Sugar, Water) (moderate) — Added sugar in liquid form; one of two sweetener sources here.
• Sugar (concerning) — Second ingredient and the dominant nutritional driver; added sugar in liquid form spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
• Grated Coconut (safe) — Real whole-food filling; adds flavor and some fiber and fat.
• Green chilli (safe) — Whole spice for heat; harmless.
• Red Chilli Powder (safe) — Ground spice; no concern.
• Cumin Seed Powder (safe) — Whole-spice seasoning.
• Coriander Powder (safe) — Ground spice; benign.
• Asafoetida (safe) — Traditional aromatic spice; fine in small amounts.
• Iodised Salt (moderate) — Sodium adds up fast in seasoned snacks; iodisation is a plus.
• Tamarind Concentrate (safe) — Real-fruit tang; minor added sweetness.
• Sesame Seeds (safe) — Whole seed (the tahini base) with healthy unsaturated fat, calcium, and minerals.
• Coriander Extract (safe) — Flavoring from coriander; natural and minor.
