The moth bean dhal puff is a ready-to-eat snack (RTE) product. It is suitable as a low-fat snack because the step of frying using oil or fat has been omitted to provide a good shelf-life to the product without sacrificing the attractive taste and texture of eating a crispy snack. The product is cost effective and may also be considered as a health food. The product can be stored for 3 months at ambient conditions. As moth bean is a underutilized pulse, the use of the same to develop a product can be considered as a value addition with added benefit of increased protein content. The same can be used as a base material for making health bar or coated product having sweet or savoury taste for use as snacks
