This season's snack offerings
Limited quantities available until our next batch in September.
This summer, we're sharing the best of both worlds with our bestselling snacks:
- 1 x OG Mango Lassi Leather
- 1 x Tangy Tamarind Mango Lassi Leather
- 4 x Roasted Punjabi Pinni
Our lassi leathers are made with 100% fresh mangos found in season. We cut and peel each mango by hand and blend them with coconut. They're vegan, and contain no added sugar, no fillers, and no apple crap.
Our Punjabi Pinni is the classic-energy fused snack straight from the villages of Punjab. Mixed with good-for-you lentil and chickpea flours, nuts, raisins, and ghee. Our grandparents ate these before working the farm. You can eat them before your next workout class, hike, or Netflix watch (we don't judge so long as you eat them with chai or coffee).
Please note: We start shipping July 18th. All orders placed before the 18th are considered a pre-order.

unapologetically third-culture. unapologetically flavorful.
Hey, Reena here.
I'm a third-culture kid on a mission to change the expectations of Indian food in the West, starting with snacks.
I founded Panj River in 2023 as a celebration of my heritage. It's an homage to my roots of Punjab, India and the influences of living in my new home in California. And I'm bringing that celebration to your everyday adventures.

FAQ
You got questions. We got answers.
-
Because we care about quality, not just pumping out mass-produced blandness. Each batch allows us to control the quality of our products and give you that hand-made touch we're so proud of.
-
Directly from us on our website here. We'd love to be in stores one day but right now we operate on a monthly-ish drop model. We make snacks every month, drop them some-what monthly, and sell until we're sold out.
-
We recommend keeping our snacks away from high heat and direct sunlight. Our Punjabi Pinni in particular is more sensitive to high heat as the ghee can melt. If this happens, allow the ghee to come back to room temperature and enjoy like normal. It won't affect the taste.
-
You'll probably eat our snacks within a few days otherwise we're doing something wrong. But if you want to keep them longer, we have 'best by' at 6 months from production. The expiration date of each item is posted on the packaging.
-
We do not use any gluten or soy ingredients, and only our Pinni uses dairy. We do however cook out of a shared kitchen where there is gluten, soy, nuts, and dairy present. We clean and sanitize surfaces and equipment before use but we cannot guarantee that there will be no cross contamination.
-
Our Lassi Leathers are vegan. Our Punjabi Pinni bars are vegetarian (contains ghee). We do, however, use a shared kitchen that comes in contact with dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, and other meat products.
-
We're putting them on pause for now. Although many of you loved them, it wasn't sustainable for us to do both meals and snacks as such a small business. There are still a few meals available here and we will bring them back soon, either as limited drops or full-fledged products. Sign up for our mailing list or follow us on IG to know when.
-
We ship every Thursday. Order by Wednesday at midnight and your snacks will be shipped on Thursday. We charge a flat rate $8 to anywhere in the US with free shipping on orders over $50. We also offer free in-person pickup. Just select pickup during checkout.
