Methi Pak

Growing up in a Gujarati family our home was nearly always filled with chewro, sev, gathiya, magaj and in the winter methi paak and more. I also loved the Indian traditions of using food to supplement health post birth/ surgery and other food linked remedies to give strength and energy where needed using Ayurvedic principles.

It’s so great to see startups like @indiansnack_21 creating these goodies and scaling up to provide a nationwide delivery option to share with everyone. We were lucky enough to receive a taster pack from the team.

We received the below;

Magaj – a sweet halva made with gram flour, ghee and sugar or ghor

Methi paak – a winter tonic to preserve good health and strong backs – made from fenugreek powder which provides the slightly bitter flavour. My dad enjoyed this and gave it a thumbs up.

Aradyu – another sweet dish made with Adad flour, singoda flour and gram flour. Singoda is also great for good back health and is often used postpartum to support recovery.

Goondar paak – another sweet dish which is often used to bring thandak (coolness) to the body.

Naankhatai – buttery shortbread biscuits with nutmeg -an absolute classic in any Indian household

Chewro – (commonly known in the UK as Bombay Mix) this was yummy and didn’t last long at all in the house.

A great service keeping alive Indian traditions in the UK.

We were kindly gifted these traditional sweet and savoury snacks including:

Magaj – a treat cooked in desi ghee with nuts (almonds &pistachios ) , wholesome and rich . Had just the right amount of sweetness and crunch in it and was a favourite!

Gunder pak – traditional gutrati winter treat with dates &coconut flakes . Beneficial for adults ,kids and mothers. It has many health benefits ie boosts energy ,stamina , helps with joint pain and backache. A nutritious snack perfect with a glass of warm milk.

Naan khatai – needs no introduction… a bite and a crunch says it all. I literally loved this fresh n crispy biscuit dipped in my tea . Highly addictive.

Karachi biscuits – pinwheel biscuits with soft coconut filling . These were buttery n melt in the mouth. Perfectly salty like the ones commonly found in local karachi bakeries.

Chewdo – It was fresh n crunchy. A perfect tea time snack with cashews,peanuts,sultanas ,corn poha ,ricepoha .

Overall this care package filled with all the goodies was just so yummy & delicious. There was something for everyone in it .. including snacks and savouries.

Thankyou @indiansnacks_21 for keeping pakistani/ indian family traditions alive!

In search of authentic homemade Indian snacks? Well you’ve come to the right post @indiansnack_21 have kindly gifted me a selection of their Indian (Gujarati) snacks!

Let me start of by first giving a short background info about the person behind this business:

@indiansnack_21 has always been inspired by her late mother who had a passion for Indian cooking. Her homemade snacks would bring so much joy in the family.

Traditional Recipes for Gujarati sweets and savouries have been passed through generations.

Unfortunately the tradition is beginning to fade away; as people who want authentic homemade snacks are instead buying readily available but factory made products.

@indiansnack_21 therefore wanted to bring back what her late mother taught her: the real taste of Gujarati snacks; using high quality ingredients!

I received the following:
Magaj, Methi Pak, Aradyu, Chewro and Gundar Pak

If I had to pick a favourite then it would be Chewro. Such a lovely mixture of nuts and other ingredients infused together which was loved by all. The Aradyu was also really nice. You could taste the flavours of the ingredients coming through.

My least favourite were the Magaj and Methi. Both tasted quite bitter and overpowering probably due to the elachi powder.

Overall, the best thing about these homemade snacks is that they (excl. chevdo) actually have some nutritional benefits. Makes one feel less guilty of consuming mithai.

Once again, thank you so much @indiansnack_21 for wanting me to review your products.
