Celebrate Navaratri with Frontier Snacks: Salt Biscuits and Crunchy Makhana

Introduction to Navaratri and Snacking Traditions

Navaratri is a nine-day Hindu festive celebration honouring the arrival of Maa Durga. Those nine days are full of devoutness, spirituality, and bright colours. People across the country light up their homes with joy and their lives with festive moods. Friends and families come together to worship the esteemed feminine energy through rituals, fasting, and festive gatherings. Food is a major part of those nine-day festive observances. For devotees observing fasts, meals are lighter, often sattvik, and spaced out, while the rest focus on balancing indulgence and simplicity. So, snacking plays a vital part in keeping everyone’s energy level and spirit high. This year, Frontier Biscuits brings to you a fantastic range of snacks that offer a perfect balance of tradition and taste. Among all, our salt biscuits and crunchy makhana are specially curated for everyone looking for a savoury bite during festive seasons. 

The Significance of Salt Biscuits for Navaratri

Whether you are fasting yourself, supporting your mother fasting, or simply want to eat lighter, salt biscuits are ideal. They are savoury, crunchy, and satisfying — without being heavy on spice or feeling heavy on the stomach. Their simple recipes make them perfect for all occasions. You can enjoy these biscuits with a cup of green tea after pooja, or simply for snacking between meals. Salt biscuits in India are an evergreen choice for snacking. From classic bakery shelves filled with bakery salt biscuits to festive snack boxes sold online, these biscuits have earned their place as the most loved savoury nibble. 

Frontier's Irresistible Salt Biscuit Collection

Frontier Biscuits offers a diverse range of bakery salt biscuits that suit all palates. Here are some of Frontier's most popular salt biscuits in India.

Salt Delight:

• This biscuit is simple, pure, and satisfying. It lets the quality of ingredients shine. Its light crunch makes it ideal for fasting snacks or pairing with masala chai during Navaratri evenings. 

Ajwain Phool Biscuits Pack: 

• This Ajwain Phool Biscuit is a delicious fusion of ajwain and classic salty cookie texture. Ajwain (carom seeds) helps to digest, so it is both yummy and beneficial. It is also great for adults looking for a bit of spice but not the heat.

Twisty Puff: 

• You can think of this cookie as the flaky cousin of the classic salt cookie. Twisty Puff is light and layered, which lets you indulge in savoury goodness. So, it is perfect for those craving for something crunchy but not too dense.

Bada Namkeen:

• This salty cookie is a bold choice for those who like robust flavour. With its slightly more spiced profile, this biscuit is a hit with anyone who prefers something punchy but still appropriate for a festive setting.

Kasoori Methi Biscuits Pack: 

• This pack contains sweet and salt biscuits, infused with dried fenugreek leaves that make them stand out among others. Because of their organic, herby flavour, they are both aromatic and subtly indulgent.

Sweet and Salty:

• A signature offering. The sweet and savoury contrast in these biscuits satisfies dual cravings. This is one of the most loved sweet and salt biscuits in Frontier's range — especially popular with kids and adults alike.

Italian Twistie Pack: 

• Craving something fusion? These biscuits bring Mediterranean herbs and flavours into the traditional Indian biscuit format. A contemporary twist that works beautifully on festive grazing boards. 

Each of these variants is crafted with care and baked to perfection — no excessive oil, no artificial aftertaste. Just pure, reliable quality from Frontier Biscuits. You can mix and match these options to create a snack platter that appeals to all generations at home during Navaratri.

Makhana: The Perfect Navaratri Snack

Makhana, aka fox nuts, is another healthy snacking option that has become quite popular lately. It is also a great choice during fasting. Besides being gluten-free, zero-carb, and low in calories, it is also easy on the stomach. Its mild flavour offers a great base for various seasonings — be it spicy, minty, or tangy. Also, its crunchy texture keeps your snacking game strong without guilt. Whether you enjoy masala makhana, sweet versions, or love makhana dry fruit mixes, Frontier Biscuits definitely brings you some excellent options that you can keep munching not just these nine days, but all around the year! 

Explore Frontier's Crunchy Makhana Range

Frontier Biscuits’ makhana range is a celebration of texture and interesting Indian flavours. Lightly roasted, carefully seasoned, and packed in airtight pouches to maintain crunch — these are perfect for fasting, feasting, or gifting.

Makhana Pepper Salt:

• Makhana Pepper Salt has a clean, classic flavour that underlines the crunchiness of roasted makhana with a soft kick of pepper. It is perfect for everyone who loves mild spice with high crispiness. It works wonderfully to meet a late-night craving or as a mid-day munch while preparing for Maa Durga’s evening aarti.

Makhana Pudina:

• Makhana Pudina is an excellent option that offers refreshing, zesty, and cooling. Its minty twist is delightful and perfect for daytime snacking. It is especially loved during the warm and energising Navaratri days, as everyone craves something flavourful yet refreshing. 

Makhana Tandoori:

• This one’s a show-stealer. With smoky notes and a masala punch, Makhana Tandoori is perfect for those who love intense flavours. It’s one of the most popular masala makhana options and an instant hit at gatherings.

Caramel Makhana:

• If you have a sweet tooth, go for Caramel Makhana. It is primarily sweet but contains a touch of salt to let you enjoy the balance of flavour. This variant is lightly coated with caramel, giving you a festive mithai-like feel with the heavy dose of sugar. Also, it is a fun way to introduce crunchy makhana to kids. 

Pro Tip: To go the extra mile, you can make a delightful makhana dry fruit mix for your kids. Mix Caramel Makhana with chopped dry fruits. It can be a lovely offering during Navaratri poojas, or you can even distribute them in small boxes as return gifts to your friends.
