The moth bean puff snack is a ready-to-eat (RTE) product with either sweet or salt-spicy in taste. 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 4 months at ambient conditions. As moth bean is an underutilized pulse, the use of the same to develop a product can be considered as a value added benefit of increased protein content
