The “khatta” (sour/tangy) element often comes from ingredients like dry mango powder (amchur), tamarind, or citric acid, while the “meetha” (sweet) taste is provided by sugar or jaggery. These are mixed with a savory base of salt and spices.
Texture: The mixture is predominantly crispy and crunchy, with varied textures from its different components.
