Taste & Tradition
There are countless food stores that can be found in every corner of India but regional delicacies are local icons and often out of reach for everyone else. We ask ourselves why should these culinary gems be limited by geography, where there is an irresistible treasure trove just waiting to be savored.
Janthaks or Janthikulu is one such quintessential savory, crunchy snack originating from the Indian subcontinent. The name Janthikulu is derived from the Tamil word for murukku meaning "twisted", which refers to its shape. In India, fondly called murukku in the southern states and as chakli in north has been a hot favorite snack and now winning hearts across the world.
The origins can be traced back to ancient India, where they were traditionally prepared during festivals and special occasions. The exact origins are shrouded in mystery, but these snacks have been relished for centuries.
Founder Story: Treats by Revathy
My tryst with Jantikalu began in the early 80s when I had moved to this beautiful and serene beach town - Vizag. I brought with me an age-old family recipe that had delighted many over generations. Family and friends have been soulfully snacking on it for over 4 decades and it was fondly referred to as ‘Janthaks’. Over time my secret loving touch has brought even more zest and flavor to this age old recipe and to become a soulful pleasure in snacking.
Forty years and counting, it's been welcomed and enjoyed just about any time of the day or year. I have experienced unimaginable joy to see everyone coming back for more from not only our local life, but also from around the world ! It’s time I shared it with you all too!
I wanted to revolutionize the at-home snacks and tea time experience. So we blended the highest quality ingredients with flavourful love and called it Janthaks - delicious, easy, and just a click away. It’s our fave, all-time, anywhere, crispy, crunchy Indian snack!
No more searching for the ideal snack and no more dull evenings!!
