Detailed Product Description
NikNak are extruded snacks, very crunchy and great in taste. NikNak are made by extrusion process. The NikNak corn meal is moisturized in the flour mixer with water and fed to the Rotary die Extruder. In the extruder, due to excess heat and pressure from the screws the meal gets heated and the moisture content gets reduced. The meal passes through the die and gets cut by the cutting knifes into required lengths. The NikNak are fried in cooking oil and then cooled before flavoring. Seasoning is sprayed on the NikNak to improve their taste.
