Haldiram's Panchrattan: This snack combines potato sticks, cashews and almonds, and raisins with curry leaves to create an impressively delicious blend of sweet and savory.

NFI curry flavored Mr. Krisps potato chips: Super crispy potato chips with a slight spiced flavor (though they are not spicy). Good level of seasoning. Despite the corn-shaped / Quaker-dressed mascot, this snack resembles neither. From India. 3.0/5.0
