Various snack items, ready meals, sauces and condiments, cheese and ready-to-eat meats represent the category of savoury items. Ethnic namkeen and snack items typically include namkeen, chaklis, a variety of masala or fried nuts, etc., and they are very region-specific even within India. Another trend in the foods market is the packaging of products that were previously not sold as packaged items. This includes Bhakarwadi, samosas, Bhel Puri by Halidram’s Aam Panna by Paper boat, and packaged coconut water. On the other hand, today, many savoury dishes have emerged from the western market with a variety of flavours such as mango, brown sugar and maple to lend a sweet touch to traditionally savoury dishes. For instance, bacon, sea salt, miso, rosemary, and wasabi are the major players on the conventionally sweet side
