Mastana Mix is a popular Indian savory snack, often enjoyed as a part of the “namkeen” variety of snacks. It is a vibrant and flavorful mixture that combines various ingredients to create a balanced blend of textures and tastes.
Typically, Mastana Mix includes components such as sev (thin, crispy noodles made from gram flour), fried peanuts, roasted chana dal (split chickpeas), crispy poha (flattened rice), fried green peas, and small chunks of spiced fried dough. The mix is seasoned with a combination of spices that may include salt, red chili powder, turmeric, black salt, and sometimes a hint of tanginess from amchur (dried mango powder) or chaat masala.
