🧂 Maida Namkin – Namak Para Snacks
Crispy, Salty, and Totally Addictive – A Classic Bihari Savoury Snack
🏡 Introduction: The Taste of Every Indian Childhood
Maida Namkin, popularly known as Namak Para, is a golden, crunchy, diamond-shaped snack that has been a staple in Indian households for generations. Made using refined flour (maida), seasoned with ajwain (carom seeds), and deep-fried to perfection, this salty treat is the go-to chai-time partner in every Bihari home.
From wedding snack boxes to festive dry snacks and train journeys, Namak Para is comfort food that never fails.
🌾 Traditional Roots & Why It Matters
In Bihari culture, no festival preparation is complete without big trays of Namak Para. Mothers and grandmothers would knead the dough with love, cut it into shapes with coins or knives, and fry it till perfectly golden. It’s part of Bihar’s “savoury tradition” that balances the sweet richness of Thekua and Khurma.
