This is a popular snack made in Maharashtra with fresh coriander and gram flour. It is a nutritious and tasty snack and perfect to go with a cup of tea on the side.

This is my own innovation. My twist on the regular traditional kozhukattai is that I have added coconut paste along with spices to make it more tasty. I then tempered it to make it as a sundal for this Navarathri Festival....

#deepfried - This is a traditional Tamil Nadu special deep fried snack that is a must in most of the South Indian festivals, where it has different names. This popular snack is called nippattu in Karnataka and chekkalu in Andhra. They are also a great tea time snack / party snack. Try relishing it with hummus, mayo or any homemade dip for a change. Tastes awesome.

Dosakai(Cucumber) Chutney

#YIFRKhaman is a spongy and delicious vegetarian specialty of Gujarat.It is very quick and easy to make and tastes good at room temperature, but you can also serve them hot with green chutney and tea for a classic and complete comfort food on a monsoon evening.It is made with a fermented gram flour batter being steamed and thereafter tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves and asafoetida.It can be eaten as a side dish, or as a delectable snack.

Although simple, chutney making involves blending which could be bit of an ordeal on a busy working day. Good news is, you can make it ahead.

This is a a tasty tea-time snack which is crunchy, tasty and packed with proteins! Tastes great with a cup of piping hot chai! Try it, you won't be disappointed :)

#indvspakSoft, fluffy, sweet and tangy instant dhokla is a perfect breakfast or tea time snack made from gram flour. Here is the recipe of this delicious instant khaman.

It's a "South Indian" tea time snack & it's easy to make. It's stuffed with green gram. Some add coconut to the gram, but I like it better this way. Make sure the gram mix is not too watery or loose. Otherwise it will come apart while dipping in the batter. You can avoid the cardamom powder if you don't like it. Add only a little water while melting the jaggery.

#reststyle - This is a very popular side dish from the State of Tamil Nadu and is included in the menu platter / meal in any South Indian restaurant. It is a simple preparation of raw banana with lots of fresh grated coconut added to the end product. This simple delicacy is traditionally served with curd-rice, sambar-rice or rasam-rice. You may also have it with any kind of Indian bread. It is a quick recipe, both healthy and nutritious with minimum of oil and spices.
