Crisp gram-flour strands, puffed rice flakes, peanuts, cashews and roasted Bengal gram, with curry leaves fried through it. The seasoning is chilli powder and asafoetida. Each handful comes out slightly different, which is the appeal.

Moderately. Chilli powder is the main seasoning and the heat is noticeable, but it sits behind the nuttiness of the peanuts and cashews rather than taking over. Warm rather than fierce, and it fades between handfuls.

The brand takes its name from the three-part South Indian snacking tradition — something sweet, something savoury, then coffee. Its recipes are made the way a grandmother would, which is why the packaging features Janaki Paati.

Seal the bag tightly or move it to an airtight tub. Sealed, it holds its crunch through to the date on the pack. The nuts and strands both soften once air reaches them, so close it properly each time.
