Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its exceptionally high sodium content, with a single 10g serving providing 566 mg (over 28% of the FSSAI recommended daily intake). Additionally, the presence of added sugars (dried glucose syrup, sugar) as major ingredients in a savory masala mix is a significant drawback. While it contains natural spices, the high levels of sodium and sugar make it a nutritionally poor choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Light Mutter Paneer with Fresh Veggies
1. Sauté 1 chopped onion in 1 tsp oil until golden. 2. Add 1 chopped tomato and cook until soft. 3. Stir in half the sachet (5g) of the masala mix, 1 cup of green peas, and 1/2 cup of water. 4. Add 100g of pan-seared paneer and simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot without adding any extra salt.
Health Benefits
This version uses half the masala to significantly cut down on sodium while still delivering flavor, complemented by fresh vegetables.
Spiced Tofu & Veggie Stir-fry
1. Cube 150g of firm tofu and pat dry. 2. In a bowl, toss the tofu with 1 tsp (about 3g) of the masala mix and 1 tsp of oil. 3. Heat a pan and stir-fry the tofu until golden. 4. Add 1 cup of mixed vegetables like bell peppers and broccoli, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
A quick, high-protein vegan meal that uses the masala as a dry rub to control sodium intake and boost flavor in a vegetable-rich dish.
Additive Analysis
The product contains Anticaking Agent (INS 551 - Silicon Dioxide), which is approved by FSSAI and considered safe for consumption within specified limits. The primary health concern stems not from additives but from the extremely high levels of sodium and added sugar.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'No Need To Add Salt' is accurate and crucial given the product's high sodium content. However, the marketing uses a 'health halo' effect by promoting the benefits of paneer, potentially misleading consumers into thinking the masala mix itself is healthy. The actual nutritional profile, with high sodium and added sugar, contradicts this implied healthfulness.
