#FirstImpression of Haldiram’s Lite Chiwda
Haldiram’s Lite Chiwda is a mildly flavored namkeen. The rice flakes are crispy and crunchy. The sev is light and airy. Overall, it is a savory crunchy namkeen to enjoy with tea, or when you feel a little peckish.
However, its also one of those snacks, which you will end up picking up assuming that is it is ‘diet’ namkeen without understanding the complete picture. The list of ingredients clearly lists palm oil, sugar powder, and starch, which are not particularly health-friendly ingredients. 100 grams of this chiwda provides over 500 calories.
As far as the taste is concerned, there are no issues with it. But if you are picking this up for the health or diet aspect, think twice.
