I am the kind of person who feels hungry throughout the day & need to munch something. And I prefer biscuit for that. Well, there are many in the list but this time I shall pick up my ‘chotu dil’ … Yo, am talking about Britannia Little Hearts. My affair with chotu started since my school days. In-between chotu was missing for sometime. But thank to whoever – I am happy that chotu is back again :)
These biscuits are small heart shaped with fine sugar sprinkled on it and is baked to give a special treat to taste bud. Just one bite & it just melts inside the mouth. The sugar on top doesn’t make it too sweet but adds the special effect which makes one to say ‘le gaya dil – chotu dil’. Look wise this one is very different than the other ones. The top is having the brown lines with white in between. Another catch for this product is the packaging – the pouch pack, which was known specially for the wafers. The color combination of red & golden on pouch is rather catchy. With those zigzag at both the end it is easy to open the pouch, reducing the chance of biscuit falling out.
I remember seeing some other variants in-between, but never bothered to taste except the classic one. And right now I don’t even see the other variants on shelf.
I prefer to grab chotu not with milk / tea/ coffee – but just like that. But I always nag for the very little quantity. The size of the biscuit being small, its fun to gulp the entire biscuit but then shortly I find my fingers moving freely inside the pouch! Darn! It is over :( Good to have while net browsing, watching television or movie at home, easy serving during guest visit or even just like that!
Well, I was able to grab some gyaan on chotu too. This is Britannia product & was launched during 1993 [Google result].
Remember the advertisement - Kirmani giving his gloves to Parthiv after having Little Hearts and glad Parthiv kissing Kirmani’s forehead with the caption ‘dil actually sabka sweet hai’.
