In Indian English, namkeen refers to any salty, savory snack eaten between meals — the kind of crunchy, spiced nibbles served in small bowls at tea time or with drinks. This includes sev, mixture, chivda, bhujia, and dozens of regional variants. The word comes directly from Hindi and is used across the subcontinent and in the diaspora. The category is enormous and central to South Asian snacking culture.
