…unjabi Mathri with the beautiful layers. This famous and much loved savory snack / cracker which is lightly salted, crispy, flaky and mildly spiced is rolled like the popular sweet “Phenori” in Konkannim and “Chirote” / “Chiroti” in Marathi which is prepared to celebrate festivals.

…travelling, at work or at school. Above all, they are an excellent teatime snack. They are good as cocktail snacks too.

…nack. It is known as Suralichi Vadi in Maharashtra. It is a popular Indian snack. These dainty savory little swiss rolls are so soft & melt in the mouth. Khandvi is easily available in mithai shops & also in small snack shops.

I manage to get pure & fresh besan ka atta as the buildi…
…osas with so many types of fillings to choose from. It is such a wonderful snack but looked down upon by weight watchers & those who are in favor of a healthy diet. According to me, if you eat within limits & prepare in the comfort of your home then it is fine. At home, everyone uses fresh oil for deep frying so it should not be a problem. Besides, one does not deep fry every day. Today’s post is the ever popular Irani samosas which are al…
