The best kind of weekend plans are the ones that involve munching on snacks with a late-night movie session. Picking up a movie is one thing, but deciding what snacks to eat? That’s a whole new deal. Most of the time, we unintentionally end up consuming a surplus of calories and unhealthy fat. Luckily, we’ve got something better for you. 

Our Zia Mix Nimko are the snacks that deserve a special place in your bucket. Delicious and fulfilling, that keeps you from overeating yet are equally satisfying. We also have our special range of coated peanut flavours to add to the list. 

Here are our best Snacks for movie nights at home:

Zia Mix Nimko: The One Bowl That Does Everything

If you only put one thing out for a movie night, make it the mix nimko. This is the snack that keeps hands busy through a two-hour film without anyone needing a refill every twenty minutes. The combination of peanuts, chickpeas, lentils, raisins, and spiced pea flour pieces in one bowl means every handful is full of taste, which is exactly what you need. 

The flavour profile is savoury and spiced; chilli powder and garlic powder in the seasoning, with black salt adding a depth that regular salt does not. The raisins in the mix balance the spice with occasional sweetness, which keeps the overall taste interesting rather than one-note.

In nimko terms, the mixed composition of the Zia Mix Nimko means that any reasonable serving provides real macronutrients: protein from the peanuts and lentils, and fibre from the chickpeas and peas. This is not empty snacking. It is the kind of food that actually keeps you from raiding the kitchen at 11 pm for something more substantial because the mix nimko was not satisfying enough.

The easy-open seal on the nimko packing keeps whatever is left fresh rather than going soft overnight.

Zia Dal Moong: For the Clean, Simple Crunch

Zia Dal Moong is the snack that delivers the crisp you need. Golden, crispy split moong beans seasoned simply with refined salt. Clean, delicious, consistently crunchy. The best nimko for people who find heavily spiced snacks too much after the first twenty minutes of a film.

This is also the daal moong nimko that works best for shared tastes when the group has different spice tolerances. Nobody is going to object to a lightly salted crispy lentil. The crispy nimko texture holds well through an evening without softening quickly when left in an open bowl. 

Fresh nimko quality from Zia means the seal on every packet maintains crunch and keeps it fresh.

Zia Dal Chana: When You Want Some Spice

Zia Dal Chana is the snack for the group member who keeps asking for something with more kick. Split chickpeas fried until properly crunchy, seasoned with red chilli, garlic powder, black salt, and an acidity regulator that adds a slight tanginess beneath the heat.

The texture of a split chickpea is different from moong or mixed nimko pieces; denser, more satisfying per piece, with a crunch that is more substantial. For a late-night movie session where the snacking is a must, dal chana earns its place specifically because it delivers enough flavour and texture to be genuinely appetizing. 

As a daal nimko that works beyond the bowl: Zia Dal Chana scattered over a quick chaat, mixed into a bowl with the mix nimko for a more complex flavour combination, or just eaten straight; the versatility extends past movie night into daily snacking easily.

Zia Dal Mooth: The Traditional One

Dal Mooth sits closest to the traditional Pakistani nimko experience. Peanuts, chickpeas, lentils, raisins, pea flour pieces; same base as the mix nimko but with a smooth, crunchy, savoury, deeply familiar taste. 

It pairs well with chai, and it holds up well with cold drinks as well. The crunch and freshness add to the flavour. Dal Mooth earns its place in this list specifically because it is the one most people already know they like. It is among the best nimko in Pakistan, usually most picked for late-night snacking. 

Zia Coated Peanuts: Four Flavours, One for Everyone

The coated peanut range from Zia is the upgrade addition to any movie night spread. Four flavours: Cheese, Masala, Salt & Pepper, and Cream & Herb; each distinct enough that having two or three varieties out simultaneously gives everyone in the room something different to reach for.

Cheese is the crowd favourite every time, particularly with children in the group. Masala is for the people who want the most flavour intensity. Salt & Pepper is the one that pairs best with a cold drink. Cream & Herb is the blend of tastes in one packet.
