Globally Inspired Snacks: Meet Varah Gourmet’s Five Flavors

August 24, 2026

Varah Gourmet began with food made for gifting and special occasions. Our snack collection brings that same focus on distinctive flavors and carefully chosen ingredients into something you can enjoy every day.

The collection includes five flavors inspired by the food traditions of India, the Middle East, and Thailand:

Tikka Masala Nut Mix
Masala Trail Mix
Masala Cranberries
Zaatar Spice Almonds
Thai Spice Cashews

The collection is made without preservatives, artificial flavors, or seed oils. The current assortment pages also identify the snacks as vegan and gluten-free. Our retail launch was announced through NOSH and the Specialty Food Association.

If you want the short answer: choose the Gourmet Variety Snack Pack to try all five flavors, the Desi Snack Trio for three Indian-inspired choices, or the Spice Route Trio for Indian, Middle Eastern, and Thai-inspired flavors.

Tikka Masala Nut Mix

Tikka Masala Nut Mix takes the warm, savory flavor associated with dishes such as paneer tikka masala and applies it to crisp roasted nuts.

This is the easiest starting point for someone who already enjoys Indian food but has never tried an Indian-inspired snack mix. The flavor is familiar enough to recognize while still offering something different from a conventional salted or barbecue nut mix.

You can find it in all three Varah snack assortments.

Masala Trail Mix

Masala Trail Mix combines roasted nuts and seeds with a savory Indian-inspired spice profile. It is warm and aromatic without being heavy.

Enjoy it directly from the pouch, serve it with tea or drinks, or use it as a crunchy salad topping. It is included in the Desi Snack Trio and the complete Variety Snack Pack.

Masala Cranberries

Masala Cranberries combine the natural tartness of dried cranberries with warm Indian spices. The first taste is bright and tangy, followed by a savory masala finish.

Choose this flavor if you like snacks that cross the usual sweet and savory divide. It works as an alternative to ordinary dried fruit and adds contrast to a snack or cheese board.

Masala Cranberries are included in the Desi Snack Trio and the complete Variety Snack Pack.

Zaatar Spice Almonds

Zaatar Spice Almonds are inspired by the Middle Eastern mixture of thyme, oregano, toasted sesame seeds, and tangy sumac.

The result is earthy, herbal, nutty, and slightly bright rather than curry-forward. Serve them with a mezze spread, place them on a snack board, or enjoy them directly from the pouch.

They are included in the Spice Route Trio and the complete Variety Snack Pack.

Thai Spice Cashews

Thai Spice Cashews use lemongrass, galangal, garlic, and a measured amount of heat to evoke the aromatic depth of Thai red curry.

The flavor develops gradually: fragrant herbs first, followed by savory warmth and gentle spice. Choose this flavor for someone who enjoys Thai food or wants a more aromatic alternative to conventional spicy cashews.

Thai Spice Cashews are included in the Spice Route Trio and the complete Variety Snack Pack.
