They are light, clean and dangerously snackable, the kind of crisp that empties from the bowl before you have consciously decided to keep eating. Tapioca gives them a distinctive brittle crunch that sets them apart from the usual potato crisp, and the seasoning is kept restrained so the chip itself stays the star. Good for the lunchbox, the road trip, the film at home, or simply standing at the counter telling yourself this is the last handful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"91:1-91:523;9869-10391\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin Story:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tapioca, known across the south as kappa, is a beloved staple from Kerala through Karnataka, and tapioca chips are its crisp, portable form. In Bengaluru they have long been a fixture of snack shops and tea tables, sold loose by weight and disappearing fast. The appeal is honesty, a humble root vegetable turned into something irresistible with little more than good oil and salt. Patang keeps ours just as straightforward, decent tapioca, clean frying and only as much spice as the chip actually needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"93:1-93:221;10393-10613\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste and Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e A brittle, glassy crunch with a clean, mild flavour and a gentle savoury edge from the seasoning.

It comes from the kind of South Indian crunchy snacking that earned the town of Sattur its name among people who take their tea time seriously. This is a snack built for company, for long conversations and second helpings, the sort of thing that sits in a tin and gets passed around until it is gone. It pairs beautifully with filter coffee or chai, and works just as well as an anytime savoury craving fixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"105:1-105:553;11446-11998\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin Story:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sattur, in Tamil Nadu's Virudhunagar district, is a name spoken with quiet respect among lovers of crunchy, spiced South Indian snacks. Its rice flour sev and seeval style treats have a reputation for proper crunch and confident garlic and chilli seasoning. These are snacks of the region's kitchens and small producers, made to go alongside coffee and conversation rather than to be eaten in a hurry. Patang carries that tradition forward, rice flour crisp, garlicky and warm with chilli, true to the town that made it worth knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"107:1-107:277;12000-12276\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste and Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e A sharp, satisfying crunch carrying savoury garlic, toasted sesame and a steady chilli warmth, with butter giving it a rounder, richer finish.
