Haldiram's Bhujia — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Haldiram's Bhujia by Haldiram's TREAT — score 45/90.
A deep-fried legume-flour snack with a short, clean ingredient list, but it's fried in refined oil and loaded with salt. Indulgent, not nutrition.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in a refined vegetable oil blend, so it's fat- and calorie-dense
- Heavily salted, a single serving can push a quarter of your daily sodium
- Legume flour base is decent but frying cancels most of the nutritional upside
- Simple, recognizable ingredients with no artificial additives, which keeps it a treat not a chemistry set
Ingredients (5)
- Tepary (Moth) Bean Flour (safe) — A real legume flour with protein and fiber, the one genuinely nutritious part of the recipe.
- Edible Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed, Corn & Palmolein) (moderate) — A refined oil blend used for deep-frying, high in omega-6 and calories, the main reason this snack is fat-dense.
- Gram Pulse Flour (Besan) (safe) — Chickpea flour, another legume base contributing some protein and fiber.
- EDIBLE COMMON SALT (moderate) — Sodium for flavor; modest amount in a small biscuit.
- Spices & Condiments (chilli, pepper, ginger, clove, mace, nutmeg, cardamom) (safe) — Natural whole spices for flavor, harmless and even mildly beneficial.
