Khatta meetha means sour and sweet, and that is the whole proposition. A namkeen mix that swings between tangy and sugary in the same handful, with plenty of crunch underneath.

It is the one people who find other mixes too savoury reach for.

Serve it with tea, put it out for guests, or take a packet on a long drive. Children tend to prefer it to the chilli-heavy mixes, which makes it useful at a family gathering.

Stocked at Curry Corner, North Melbourne.
