The Best Healthy Savoury Snacks in the UK — Made the Proper Way, Since 1985

Finding healthy savoury snacks in the UK that actually taste good — not like cardboard — has never been the easiest task. Most shelves are stacked with over-processed options: artificial flavours, long lists of additives, and snacks that barely resemble real food. At Chandra Foods, we've been doing things differently since 1985.

Our healthy savoury snacks are made in the UK using authentic Indian family recipes — recipes passed down through generations, crafted with simple, real ingredients, and cooked to give you that satisfying crunch without unnecessary fillers. Whether you're reaching for a mid-afternoon bite at the office, something to go with your cuppa, or a guilt-free grab at the weekend, you're in exactly the right place.

These are healthy crunchy snacks that have real heritage behind them. Proper savoury flavour. Nothing pretending to be something it's not.

Why More People Across the UK Are Turning to Indian Savoury Snacks

There's a reason healthy Indian savoury snacks are having a moment across the UK right now — and it's not just because they taste brilliant. Traditional Indian snacking culture has always been rooted in simplicity: gram flour, spices, a little oil, and time-honoured technique. No lengthy ingredient lists. No synthetic flavourings masquerading as "natural."

For anyone looking for non-UPF snacks in the UK — snacks that aren't ultra-processed — Indian traditional snacks are a genuinely smart choice. Many are made from chickpea (gram) flour, which is naturally high in plant-based protein and fibre. They're vegetarian savoury snacks by tradition, and many are naturally vegan too. If you're browsing for plant-based savoury snacks in the UK, this range ticks that box clearly.

This is natural savoury snacking — the kind your grandparents would recognise as actual food.

Our Healthy Savoury Snacks — What's in This Range

This carefully selected collection of healthy savoury snacks brings together eight of our most-loved Gujarati-style products. Each one is crunchy, flavoursome, and made with the kind of ingredients you can feel good about. Here's a closer look:

Bhavnagari Gathiya — Light, Airy and Gently Spiced

A classic from Gujarat, Bhavnagari Gathiya offers soft, thick gram flour strands with a mild carom seed flavour. It's the snack you reach for when you want something savoury but not heavy — perfect with a hot cup of chai. Explore more Gathiya snacks in our full collection.

Fully Gathiya — Crisp, Everyday Comfort

Where Bhavnagari Gathiya is soft, Fully Gathiya goes crunchier — still light, still gently spiced with black pepper and carom, but with a firmer bite that satisfies a craving for healthy crunchy snacks without any fuss. Another must-try from our Gathiya range.

Boondi — The Tiny Crisp Pearl That Does Everything

These small gram flour pearls are one of India's most versatile snacks. Eat them straight from the bag, stir them into raita, or scatter them over chaat for extra crunch. Mild, light and genuinely moreish — Boondi is a healthy salty snack that works for literally any occasion.

Nylon Sev — Ultra-Fine, Incredibly Light

If you've never tried nylon sev, you're in for a treat. These ultra-thin gram flour strands are so delicate they almost melt as you eat them — but the flavour is anything but subtle. Add them to a bowl of poha, scatter over salads, or just enjoy by the handful as a light snack. Browse our full Sev range for more options.

Methi Chakri — Herby, Golden Spirals You Won't Stop at One

Chakri is one of the great Gujarati snacking icons — a tightly coiled spiral of spiced gram flour that delivers a deeply satisfying crunch. Our Methi Chakri adds fenugreek (methi) to the mix, giving it an aromatic, earthy depth that sets it apart. Incredible with a mug of tea. See our full Chakri collection for the full range of flavours.

Farali Chevda — Thoughtfully Made for Fasting, Loved by Everyone

Originally crafted as a fasting (vrat) snack — free from onion, garlic and regular grains — Farali Chevda has crossed over into everyday snacking for good reason. Thin potato flakes, nuts and mild spices combine into a light, crispy mix that's as good as a mid-morning desk snack as it is during religious observances.

Fulwadi — The Sweet-Spice Combination You Didn't Know You Needed

Fulwadi is a unique Gujarati bite — gram flour strands with a balance of fennel, sesame and warm spices that give it a gently sweet-savoury flavour profile. It's comforting in the way only a traditional snack can be, and it pairs beautifully with chai for a proper healthy tea-time snack.

Pharsi Puri — The Crispy, Spiced Puri That Delivers Every Time

Made with black pepper, semolina and gram flour, Pharsi Puri is crisp, boldly spiced and deeply satisfying. Eat them with chutneys, add them to a snack platter, or simply crunch through them solo. This is one of the best healthy savoury snacks in the UK — a genuine crowd-pleaser. Find more puri varieties in our traditional Indian snacks range.

Healthy Savoury Snacks for Every Occasion in the UK

One of the things our customers love most about these snacks is how versatile they are. They don't belong to a single moment — they fit into real UK life:

• Healthy office snacks in the UK — lightweight, non-messy, and satisfying enough to keep you going between meetings. Grab a handful of Nylon Sev or a few pieces of Pharsi Puri and you're sorted.
• Healthy snacks for work in the UK — easy to pack, store at your desk, and share with colleagues who'll be asking where you got them.
• Healthy tea-time snacks — there is genuinely no better pairing than a cup of builder's tea and a plate of Methi Chakri or Bhavnagari Gathiya. This is the combination Indian families have known about for generations, and now the whole of the UK can enjoy it.
• Snacks for guests and gatherings — lay out a selection on a board alongside chutneys and dips and you have an instant conversation starter. These are snacks that look impressive and taste even better.
• Everyday savoury snacking — sometimes you just want something crunchy, salty and satisfying that isn't a crisp. This range is your answer.
