POKKO

Elevate your snack game with POKKO's rice and chickpea chips, infused with authentic South Asian spices.

Their Story

POKKO was founded by Sasha Rajamani, drawing inspiration from his mother's cherished recipe for "ribbon pakoda," a popular South Indian snack. In 2019, Sasha began crafting these unique chips in his basement apartment, balancing a full-time job and new parenthood. Through dedication and countless taste tests, POKKO evolved from a homemade treat to a snack sensation now available on store shelves across Canada.
