Healthy Recipe Ideas
Punjabi Tadka Bhel Puri
In a bowl, combine one serving of Punjabi Tadka with puffed rice, finely chopped onion, tomato, and boiled potato cubes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice, add a pinch of chaat masala, and garnish with fresh coriander. Mix well and serve immediately for a crunchy snack.
Health Benefits
This recipe balances the processed snack with fresh vegetables, adding fiber, vitamins, and volume.
Spiced Raita with Punjabi Tadka Crunch
Crush a small amount of Punjabi Tadka and mix it into a bowl of thick, plain yogurt. Add finely chopped mint leaves and a pinch of black salt. Serve this raita as a side dish with meals or as a dip for cucumber and carrot sticks.
Health Benefits
Pairing the snack with yogurt adds protein and probiotics, creating a more balanced and cooling side dish.
Savory Trail Mix with Punjabi Tadka
Create a balanced trail mix by combining a small portion (10g) of Punjabi Tadka with a handful of unsalted roasted almonds, peanuts, and roasted chickpeas (chana). Toss together for an easy, on-the-go snack.
Health Benefits
This mix reduces the overall sodium and fat per bite by incorporating nutrient-dense nuts and legumes.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Acidity Regulators (INS 330, INS 296) and Flavor Enhancers (INS 627, INS 631), are approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe. However, the presence of flavor enhancers indicates a highly processed product designed to be hyper-palatable, which may encourage overconsumption.

Marketing Claims
The claims focus on taste and tradition, which is acceptable. However, using the word 'goodness' is questionable for a product that is nutritionally poor, being very high in sodium and saturated fat. While not a direct health claim, it can mislead consumers into perceiving the product as healthier than it is.
