Nutritional Summary

The product scores poorly due to its high content of saturated fat (2.92g per 40g serving, which is 13.3% of the daily recommended intake) and sodium. The primary ingredient is refined wheat flour (Maida), which lacks fiber and essential nutrients. The recommended cooking method (deep frying) further degrades its nutritional quality by adding significant fat and calories.

Healthy Recipe Ideas

Healthier Baked Samosa Chaat

Bake or air-fry the mini samosas for 10-12 minutes at 180°C until golden and crisp. Arrange on a platter, lightly crush them, and top with whisked low-fat yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint-coriander chutney. Garnish with chopped onions, fresh coriander, and pomegranate seeds.

Health Benefits

This chaat recipe avoids deep-frying to cut down on fat and adds protein from yogurt and vitamins from fresh toppings.

Crispy Samosa Salad Bowl

Bake or air-fry the samosas until crispy. In a bowl, toss together mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and bell peppers with a light lemon vinaigrette. Top the salad with the warm, crispy samosas just before serving.

Health Benefits

Balances the processed snack with a serving of fresh, fiber-rich vegetables to create a more complete meal.

Additive Analysis

The additives used, such as emulsifiers (INS 331, INS 452), thickeners (INS 1422, INS 415), and acidity regulators (INS 260), are generally permitted by FSSAI and considered safe in moderation. However, the presence of multiple additives is characteristic of a highly processed food.

Marketing Claims

The claim 'No Added Preservatives' can be misleading. While it may not contain common artificial preservatives like benzoates or sorbates, it includes ingredients like salt, sugar, and acidity regulators which have preservative properties. This could mislead consumers into perceiving the product as more natural or healthier than it is.
