Jaipuri Hing Chana | 150 gm

Jaipuri Hing Chana is roasted Bengal gram tossed with asafoetida, cumin, black salt and a chorus of warm spices, a lighter and more fragrant kind of namkeen. The hing gives it the unmistakable aroma of a Rajasthani kitchen, savoury and rounded, the smell that tells you something good is about to happen. Because the chickpeas are roasted rather than heavily fried, it feels like a snack you can return to often without guilt. Keep a jar on the table for grazing, carry a pouch for travel, or reach for it when you want flavour and crunch without anything too rich.

Origin Story: Jaipur's kitchens are famous for the art of hing and spice, the careful tempering that turns simple ingredients into something aromatic and alive. Hing chana is that artistry in everyday form, a humble roasted chickpea lifted by asafoetida, black salt and warm spice into something with real character. It belongs to Rajasthan's deep namkeen tradition, where snacks are expected to carry as much flavour as a meal. Patang keeps that Pink City pedigree intact, aromatic, gently fiery and full of personality.

Taste and Texture: A crisp roasted chickpea carrying the savoury, almost umami warmth of asafoetida, the bright lift of black salt and a slow spice finish. It is noticeably lighter than fried namkeen, big on aroma, and easy to keep nibbling through an afternoon.
