Haldiram's

Haldiram's Bhujia Plain is the classic fine gram flour bhujia — thin, brittle strands seasoned simply with salt and spice, with no potato or nuts in the mix. It is the everyday namkeen most kitchens keep on hand, crisp enough to eat by the handful or scatter straight over a plate.

Best with

• Everyday tea-time snacking
• Topping khichdi, dal or curd rice
• Building bhel and chaat at home

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and sunlight.

Haldiram Aloo Bhujia is fine, brittle bhujia made with potato and gram flour, seasoned with a warm everyday spice blend. The potato gives the strands a softer bite and a rounder, less sharp flavour than plain bhujia, which is why it disappears so fast from the bowl.

Best with

• Chai in the afternoon
• Sprinkling over dal, khichdi or curd rice
• Adding crunch to sandwiches and wraps

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack after opening.

Haldiram's Navrattan Mix is a many-part namkeen — fine sev, fried lentils, peanuts, crisp flakes and raisins in a masala that balances salt against a touch of sweetness. The variety of pieces is the point: every handful comes out a little different.

Best with

• Chai and evening snacking
• Snack bowls for guests
• Mixing into homemade bhel

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Keep in a cool, dry place and seal the pack after opening.

Haldiram's Gujarati Mixture is a namkeen mix of fine sev, fried lentils, peanuts and crisp flakes seasoned in the Gujarati manner — a little sweetness set against the salt and chilli. That sweet-salt balance is what distinguishes it from the hotter Bombay and Madras mixes.

Best with

• Afternoon chai
• Snack bowls for guests
• Topping dhokla, poha or chaat

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the pack after opening.

Haldiram's Khatta Meetha is the sweet-and-sour namkeen — fine sev, fried lentils, peanuts and crisp flakes tossed with sugar, salt and tangy spice. The sweet and sour hit at the same time, which is why it is the mix people keep reaching back into.

Best with

• Tea-time and evening snacking
• Snack bowls at parties
• Lunchboxes and road trips

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after opening.

Haldiram's Boondi Masala is tiny gram flour droplets fried into crisp golden pearls and coated in a warm, salty spice mix. The boondi is light enough to shatter between your teeth, so it works as much as a topping as it does a snack in its own right.

Best with

• Tea-time snacking
• Scattering over curd rice, dal or raita
• Adding crunch to chaat

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Keep in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening so the pearls stay crisp.

Haldiram Boondi Masala is made of tiny gram flour pearls fried crisp and tossed in a warm, salty masala. The little spheres stay light and shatter easily, which is what makes them so good scattered over food as well as eaten on their own.

Best with

• Chai in the afternoon
• Sprinkling over curd rice, dal or chaat
• Snack bowls for guests

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening so the boondi stays crisp.

Haldiram Soan Papdi is the flaky, layered gram flour sweet that collapses into fine threads the moment you bite it. It is made with ghee and cardamom and topped with slivered nuts, and it is dry rather than syrupy, which makes it the easiest mithai to keep and to hand round.

Best with

• Chai in the afternoon
• Festival gifting and sweet boxes
• Serving at the end of a meal

Pack and storage

250 g. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the box closed — the layers absorb moisture and lose their flake if left open. Contains nuts and dairy.

Haldiram's Chana Dal namkeen is split Bengal gram fried until crisp and seasoned with salt and a light dusting of spice. Each piece keeps a firm, nutty bite rather than shattering like sev, so it is a slower, more substantial snack.

Best with

• Serving with drinks
• Chai in the afternoon
• Mixing into homemade namkeen blends and chaat

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after opening.

Haldiram's Kaju Mixture is a namkeen built around whole cashews, mixed with fine sev, fried lentils and crisp flakes in a mild masala. The cashews make it the richest of the mixtures and the one worth putting out when you have people over.

Best with

• Serving with drinks and at gatherings
• Chai in the afternoon
• Gifting alongside sweets at festivals

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place. Contains cashews.

Haldiram's Methi Sev mix is a gram flour sev mix seasoned with dried fenugreek leaves, which give it a faintly bitter, herby edge behind the salt. That touch of methi is what sets it apart from a plain or aloo sev — savoury rather than sweet, and more interesting on its own.

Best with

• Chai and coffee breaks
• Scattering over dal, khichdi or curd rice
• Mixing into homemade bhel

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place.

Haldiram's Badam Pista Cookies are sweet, crumbly, ghee-rich biscuits studded with almond and pistachio — the bakery-style cookie eaten with chai rather than a savoury namkeen.

They have the short, melting texture that comes from baking with ghee, and enough nut through the crumb to taste it in every bite.

Best with

• Masala chai or filter coffee
• A sweet box alongside mithai at festivals
• Everyday snacking and lunchboxes

Pack and storage

200 g. Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place so they stay crisp. Contains nuts and dairy.

Haldiram's Veg Shami Kebab is a frozen patty of ground lentils, vegetables, herbs and spices, shaped small and flat and set at a medium heat level. The lentil base gives it a soft, dense centre with a crust that firms up as it cooks.

Best for

• Starters with mint chutney and onion rings
• Stuffing into wraps, rolls and buns
• Party platters

How to cook it

Cook from frozen without thawing. Shallow fry in a little oil over medium heat for three to four minutes a side until browned and hot through. In an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. In an oven, brush with oil and bake at 200°C for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway.

Pack and storage

300 g pack containing 12 pieces. Keep frozen at -18°C. Do not refreeze once thawed.

Haldiram's Minute Khana Lachcha Paratha is a frozen flatbread coiled from a rolled rope of dough so it cooks into many fine, separate layers. Pressed while hot, it opens out into visible strands — the flakiest of the parathas, at a medium spice level.

Best for

• Serving with rich curries and kebabs
• Weekend meals where the bread matters
• Mopping up thick gravies

How to cook it

Cook from frozen — no thawing. Heat a tawa over medium heat and cook the paratha dry for about two minutes a side, then add a little ghee or oil and crisp each side for another thirty seconds. As soon as it comes off the pan, clap or crush it lightly between your palms so the layers open.

Pack and storage

360 g pack containing 6 pieces. Keep frozen at -18°C. Do not refreeze once thawed.

Haldiram's Bhelpuri with Chutney is a complete bhel kit — puffed rice and crisp sev in the pack with sachets of chutney to stir through just before eating. Add chopped onion, tomato and coriander if you have them, mix everything together and eat it straight away while it is still crunchy.

Best with

• A quick evening chaat at home
• Serving at parties as a make-it-yourself bowl
• Chai on the side

Pack and storage

350 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the pack sealed until you are ready to mix, as the puffed rice softens quickly once dressed.

Haldiram's Golden Mixture is a fine-cut namkeen of thin sev, fried split lentils, peanuts and small crisp flakes, seasoned with a mild everyday masala. The pieces are smaller than in a Punjabi or Bombay mix, which makes it easy to eat by the spoonful and just as easy to scatter over food.

Best with

• Tea-time snacking
• Topping chaat, dahi or poha
• Filling small bowls for guests

Pack and storage

150 g pack. Keep in a cool, dry place and seal the pack after opening.

Haldiram Kashmiri Mixture is a ready-to-eat namkeen built from fine gram flour sev, fried lentils, peanuts and raisins in a lightly spiced blend. The raisins give it a sweet-sour lift against the salt, so it eats milder and rounder than a Bombay or Punjabi mixture.

Best with

• Afternoon chai or coffee
• Scattering over bhel, chaat or curd rice
• Snack bowls when guests drop in

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the pack sealed after opening so the mix stays crisp.

Haldiram's Boondi Plain is gram flour boondi fried crisp and salted, with none of the masala coating. Because it is simply seasoned it takes on whatever you put it with, which is why it is the version cooks keep for raita and rice.

Best with

• Stirring into boondi raita
• Topping curd rice, dal or khichdi
• Plain snacking for anyone avoiding spice

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place and seal the pack after opening.

Haldiram's Minute Khana Aloo Paratha is a frozen wheat flatbread stuffed with spiced mashed potato at a medium heat level, here in the large value pack. The filling reaches the edges rather than sitting in the middle, so the last bite has as much potato as the first.

Best for

• Feeding a family through a busy week
• Breakfasts with curd and pickle
• Keeping the freezer stocked

How to cook it

Cook from frozen, taking out only as many as you need. Heat a tawa over medium heat and cook each paratha dry for about two minutes a side until brown spots form, then brush with ghee or oil and crisp for another thirty seconds each side, pressing lightly with a spatula.

Pack and storage

1.6 kg pack containing 16 pieces. Keep frozen at -18°C. Do not refreeze once thawed.

Haldiram's Panchrattan is a five-part namkeen mix bringing together sev, fried lentils, peanuts, crisp flour pieces and masala-coated bits in one bag. It is a savoury mix rather than a sweet-sour one, with a steady, moderate spice running through it.

Best with

• Afternoon chai
• Snacking with cold drinks
• Topping chaat or curd rice

Pack and storage

200 g pack. Store in a cool, dry place, sealed after opening.

Haldiram's Cookie Heaven Kaju Pista Cookies are sweet, ghee-rich biscuits with cashew and pistachio baked through them — a dessert-style cookie for chai, not a namkeen.

• Festival sweet boxes and gifting
• Everyday snacking

Pack and storage

200 g. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place. Contains nuts and dairy.

Haldiram Rasgulla are spongy chhena balls simmered and held in a light sugar syrup. They are much lighter than gulab jamun — white rather than browned, with a springy squeeze that releases the syrup as you bite.

Best with

• Serving chilled after a meal
• Festivals and family gatherings
• Anyone who finds fried sweets too heavy

Pack and storage

1 kg, packed in syrup. Keep the sealed pack in a cool, dry place. After opening, refrigerate and finish within a few days, keeping the pieces submerged in syrup.

Haldiram's Minute Khana Methi Paratha is a frozen layered flatbread with fenugreek leaves worked through the dough, which gives it a faintly bitter, herby taste and a green fleck to the crumb. That methi note means it carries plenty of flavour even eaten plain.

Best for

• Breakfast with curd and pickle
• Serving with dal or a simple sabzi
• Lunchboxes and picnics

How to cook it

Cook from frozen, without thawing. Place on a hot tawa over medium heat and cook about two minutes a side until brown spots appear. Brush with a little ghee or oil and finish for a further thirty seconds each side, pressing gently so it cooks evenly.

Pack and storage

300 g pack containing 6 pieces. Keep frozen at -18°C. Do not refreeze once thawed.

Haldiram's Aloo Paratha is a frozen wheat flatbread stuffed generously with spiced mashed potato, rolled and part-cooked so it finishes on the tawa in minutes. The filling is seasoned in the north Indian home style and spread right to the edges, so every bite has potato in it.

Best for

• Breakfast with curd and pickle
• A fast dinner with dal on the side
• Lunchboxes and weekend brunches

How to cook it

Cook straight from frozen — do not thaw. Heat a tawa or heavy pan over medium heat and lay the paratha on the dry surface. Cook for about two minutes a side, until brown spots appear, then brush with a little oil or ghee and give it another thirty seconds on each side to crisp. Press lightly with a spatula so it puffs.

Pack and storage

400 g pack containing 4 pieces. Keep frozen at -18°C. Do not refreeze once thawed.
