Production process
Flattened chickpeas: The snack is crafted from chickpeas that are first soaked, then roasted or fried, and finally flattened into small, disc-like shapes.
Flavorful seasoning: These flattened chickpeas are generously coated with a zesty masala blend. The key spices often include chili, black salt, and dry mango powder, which give it an electrifying mix of heat, tang, and crunch.
