6 Types of Namkeen to Try at The Rasoda

Evenings in Indian households are synonymous with a cup of chai and a bowl of crunchy namkeen. Whether it’s the aroma of freshly brewed tea or the chatter of loved ones, these moments are incomplete without a savoury snack to munch on. Namkeen, with its diverse flavours and textures, brings warmth and nostalgia to our evenings. At The Rasoda, we take this tradition to the next level with 100% pure ghee namkeens, prepared using time-tested methods without artificial additives or adulteration. 

Besan Ki Sev

Besan Ki Sev is a golden delight made from chickpea flour (besan) and spiced with a hint of turmeric and ajwain. It’s fried to perfection in pure ghee, ensuring a melt-in-the-mouth texture that leaves a lingering richness. This sev is mildly spiced, making it ideal for pairing with tea or topping on poha. The traditional preparation methods at The Rasoda maintain its authentic taste, with no artificial flavours or preservatives, ensuring every bite is as wholesome as it is delicious.  

Besan Ki Sev (Spicy)

For those who like a fiery kick, the spicy version of Besan Ki Sev is a must-try. The dough is infused with red chilli powder, black pepper, and other bold spices before being fried in ghee. This sev has a crisp texture and robust flavour that tantalises your taste buds. Perfect for those who crave an extra zing in their snacks, it’s a guilt-free indulgence made without adulterants or synthetic ingredients.  

Chiwda

Chiwda is a versatile namkeen made with flattened rice (poha), peanuts, and curry leaves, lightly spiced and fried in ghee for a subtle yet satisfying crunch. The flavour profile balances sweetness and spice, creating an irresistible mix perfect for snacking or serving during festive gatherings. The Rasoda’s traditional preparation process ensures that every bite is fresh, authentic, and free from artificial additives.  

Mathri

Mathri is a quintessential Indian tea-time snack. These flaky, round crackers are made with refined flour, carom seeds, and a generous dash of ghee. Deep-fried to golden perfection, they offer a crumbly texture and a savoury flavour that pairs beautifully with pickles or chutneys. At The Rasoda, Mathris are crafted using traditional recipes, ensuring they retain their authentic taste without compromising on quality or purity.  

Mix Namkeen 

The perfect all-in-one snack, Mix Namkeen combines crunchy sev, peanuts, fried lentils, and a medley of spices. This blend is fried in pure ghee, giving it a rich and satisfying flavour. Each handful offers a burst of textures and tastes, making it an ideal snack for sharing with friends and family. Free from artificial sweeteners or preservatives, this namkeen is as pure and flavorful as it gets.  

Nylon Sev 

True to its name, Nylon Sev is known for its ultra-thin, delicate strands. Made from gram flour and lightly seasoned, it is fried in pure ghee to achieve a crisp and airy texture. Nylon Sev is a versatile addition to chaat dishes or an enjoyable standalone snack. At The Rasoda, its preparation stays true to traditional methods, ensuring an unadulterated taste that stands out.  

Perfect Pairings for Every Mood

Namkeens from The Rasoda are versatile and can be paired in delightful ways to enhance any snack time. For a classic combo, try Besan Ki Sev with a hot cup of masala chai—the mild flavours of the sev balance perfectly with the spices in the tea, creating a comforting, timeless pairing. If you're craving something spicier, Spicy Besan Ki Sev goes great with a chilled glass of buttermilk or lassi, offering a cooling contrast to its fiery taste.  

Chiwda is ideal for a light snack—enjoy it with a tangy green chutney and a squeeze of lemon for an added zest, or pair it with a soft drink for a relaxed gathering. Mathri pairs beautifully with a small dollop of pickle or achar and a cup of hot coffee; the crisp, flaky mathri and tangy pickle create a satisfying balance of flavours. For a mix of textures, Mix Namkeen with a bowl of yoghurt is refreshing and delicious—the creamy yoghurt adds a unique twist to the crispy mix. Lastly, Nylon Sev is perfect for topping your favourite street-style snacks like bhel puri, or enjoy it solo with a glass of fresh lemonade to complement its airy, crisp texture.
