About Nimko
Nimko is a fried mix of gram-flour sev, lentils, peanuts and rice flakes. It is extremely calorie-dense because everything in it is fried — a single handful is about 155 kcal, and a bowl beside the TV can be 300+ kcal before you notice.
Tip: Decant a small bowl instead of eating from the packet; the packet always loses.
