Fusion Snacks: Blending Indian and Global Flavours for a Healthy Treat

Who said snacking has to be boring? While we at FourThirty provide a host of varieties in terms of products and flavours, we decided- why not make it more fun with fusion snacks! After all, the most memorable snacks often come from creative flavour combinations that spark your taste buds. What's important is to stick to clean and nutritious combinations while experimenting. So what could be the result of a fusion of our favourite Indian snacks with global influences? Let's find out.

Inventive Fusion Ideas

  1. Amaranth Crackers and Guacamole

    Creamy Mexican guacamole paired with crispy yet wholesome crackers make for a delectable pair. You can also add some Indian Spices to the mix.

  2. Trail Mix and Cranberries

    - While traditional Western trail mixes contain berries, our variant is a savoury mix of nuts and seeds. Adding an element of cranberry into a mix provides a delightful contrast to every bite.

  3. Bhel, Chilli Lime Seasoning and Quinoa

    - The Latin American Quinoa alongside the classic Bhel along with a sprinkling of the Mexican Chilli Lime is a trio bursting with flavour and nutrition.

  4. Jowar Pops and Sriracha Sauce

    - This one's for the spice-lovers! High-fibre, tangy Jowar Pops with a spicy Thai Sriracha that also helps with metabolism.

  5. Biscotti and Matcha Tea

    - The crumbly and fruity Biscotti meets the current crowd-favourite Japanese Matcha Tea. This can also be paired with spices like cardamom and nutmeg for that extra kick.

  6. Flavoured Nuts and Honey

    - Seasoned and flavoured nuts paired with a Western honey glaze is the sweet treat you need!

  7. Protein Crackers and Peri-Peri

    - The flavourful African Peri-Peri spice with our baked and airy protein crackers make for a bold combination.

  8. Pesto and Bhel

    - The herby Italian pesto meets a savoury FourThirty Bhel for a snack that will tingle your taste buds.

  9. Sorghum Puffs and Hummus

    - The middle-eastern delight of a creamy hummus is a delectable pairing with our tangy and snappy sorghum puffs.

  10. Paprika and Amaranth Crackers

    - The smoky and spicy-sweet Spanish Paprika sprinkled on the versatile Amaranth crackers is an unmissable hit.

Vegan Healthy Snacks for Everyone

Many fusion snacks can be easily adapted into vegan healthy snacks. For example, swapping dairy-based sauces with plant-based yogurt or nut-based cheeses can make your snack suitable for vegans without compromising on taste. At FourThirty, we’re always experimenting with innovative recipes that cater to a range of dietary preferences.

 

Making Fusion Snacking Part of Your Routine

  • Stock Up on Spices and Combos: Keep a variety of spices in your pantry—cumin, paprika, turmeric, oregano, and several others along that can seamlessly be combined with any of these snack items.

  • Experiment in Small Batches: It's important to consider that everyone has a different taste palette.  If you’re unsure about a flavour combo, try a small portion first.

  • Incorporate Fresh Elements: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, and coriander alongside fresh fruits and vegetables like cucumber to balance out the primarily savoury textures.

  • Play With the Temperature: Whether its warming up that milk to combine with a snack or using chilled ingredients like cold yogurt, the customisations level-up by choosing a temperature level that's right for you.

  • Make it Portable: Prep fusion snacks that you can carry with you anywhere, whether it's for work or travel.
