A Journalist Reveals Creativity, Sustainability and Spirituality – We reveal the unrevealed.
One fine day suddenly, we received a courier parcel. There were 2 Paper Boat Chikki packets in it. We also received a mail about the chikkis from Neha Varma, Paper Boat Drinks. Her mail said, “Paper Boat Chikki is our humble tribute to the timeless, unbeatable mini-snack. Here’s our newest adventure in a nutshell: it’s crackling roasted peanuts packed into caramel-thick jaggery. As always, we don’t add any colours or preservatives. And all our peanuts are Fairtrade-certified.”
Our Take: First of all, let us tell you that we liked the chikkis. They were thin, crispy and sweet. Each piece dissolved in our mouths. The ingredients were proportionate in the products. They matched our taste. They can be had during breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and even dinner, says my Mom. They can be added to the starter during lunch and dinner. Children can have this to satisfy their small hunger. This will be a change from the norm. Jaggery is good for the health. Peanuts also are good protein sources.
