Mm mm mm! I just enjoyed the tastiest taste test ever. May I introduce you to the delicious and unusual Bhuja snacks that I picked up at my local Stop and Shop? Made by Majans, Bhuja snacks come in four flavors: Original, Cracker, Fruit, and Nuts. I tried Original and let me tell you, I have no regrets. The first bite snapped me to attention. One flavor and texture strongly reminds me of pappadums at my favorite Indian restaurant. No wonder: the chips are made out of yellow peas and chick peas. Other ingredients danced on my tongue—rice, potato, tapioca, peanuts, sultanas, chilies, cumin, and coriander. The texture of flat chips, long crispy noodles, and crunchy peanuts never bores. At the bottom of the bag a hint of anise refreshed me.
If you like Indian food and you like crispy snacks, you’ll probably adore the Bhuja mixes. They have no unholy ingredients, no cholesterol, and no trans fats. Please comment if you’ve had any experience with this brand!

i love these, too! i grew up snacking on indian chaat mixes, which go stale really quickly. these are lighter, fresher version. fyi-they’re somewhat spicy for those of you w/sensitive tummies.
I’ve recently discovered them at Ocean State Job Lot, which has a lot of gluten free products at a price well below area grocery stores and health food stores. I agree they are a bit spicy for some palates or tummies– a little goes a long way.
I love these, but they are spicy! I guess that is good for me because I don’t eat the entire bag in one sitting!
I agree! This snack is a little pricey but healthier than most others in my pantry so I eat it sparingly. It’s a nutrient filled snack so a little goes a long way for me.
