why numki

My maternal grandfather "Anna" passed away in early 2024. I flew home to India. For days I ate the way you do when someone passes: coffee, upma, chai, mixture, masala dosa. At 2am, lying awake and starving, I traced everything I'd eaten. Almost no protein in any of it.

I thought about the snacks I'd loved my whole life. The banana leaf at South Indian weddings, someone walking around with the most perfectly spiced mix you've ever had. Curry leaves. The crunch. The hit of salt against the sambar and the ghee. That snack was the whole experience. But it wasn't built for every day, and it wasn't built for what my body actually needed.

Numki is my version of that (the same soul, the same flavors that actually mean something), built for balance. Baked, not fried. Protein-forward from the start. For the 5pm chai, not just the wedding.

We didn't set out to make a better namkeen. We set out to build the snack that exists in the 'and' — Indian flavors and honest nutrition, indulgence and intention, your culture and your goals.

To paraphrase my paternal grandfather "Daddy":
life's all about balance.
