Othla – Taste of Doing Nothing

Snacks & Munchies

Roasted namkeen, baked chips, millet murukku & Indian tea-time snacks — no palm oil, no fried muck. Small-batch Karnataka makers, Bengaluru delivery.

Somewhere along the way, "chips and namkeen" stopped meaning what it used to. What was once a snack made in a small mill — chana, dals, and rice fried in the day's oil, tossed with hand-crushed spices — is now almost entirely a factory extrusion, coated in palm oil, dusted with maltodextrin, and sealed in a bag that promises "made with real spinach." This collection is our attempt at putting a saner tea-time back on the table.

Everything on this shelf is a small-batch, mostly hand-rolled Indian snack — roasted (not deep-fried) murukku from millet dough, baked ragi chips, cold-pressed groundnut chikki, spiced roasted chana, banana chips fried once in coconut oil the way Kerala does it, and jaggery-glazed mixture. The makers are a mix of home kitchens and small licensed units, mostly in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and coastal Karnataka. Where a snack traditionally must be fried, we insist on a single fry in a clean, cold-pressed oil — never palm, never reused, never hydrogenated.

The Indian tea-time snack is one of the small pleasures this country genuinely gets right. Four in the afternoon, a cutting chai, and something crunchy in a steel dabba. There is no reason it needs to come from a synthetic packet. What we've been trying to prove with this shelf is that small mills and slow makers can supply that ritual at a fair price, and the snacks come out better than the factory version by every measure — taste, texture, and what they do to you.

Everything here keeps well in an airtight dabba on your counter for a couple of weeks. Explore below — every snack on this page is on the shelf next to our own chai kettle.
