5 Tasty snacks to enjoy with your evening tea

As winter evenings set in, a warm cup of tea paired with light, flavourful snacks becomes the perfect way to unwind after a long day.

From crispy bites to comforting homemade treats.

Here are five easy, delightful snack recipes to elevate your chai-time experience.

Masala Paneer Bites  Soft paneer cubes, marinated in turmeric, chilli powder, chaat masala, and a squeeze of lemon, are lightly sautéed until golden. These spicy, tangy bites pair wonderfully with hot masala tea.

Veggie Poha Cutlets  Made using thick poha, boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and minimal spices, these shallow-fried cutlets are crispy on the outside and soft inside. They’re filling but light enough for an evening snack.

Garlic Butter Makhana A healthy yet flavour-packed snack, roasted makhana tossed in butter, crushed garlic, pepper and a hint of chaat masala makes for a crunchy treat that takes barely 10 minutes to prepare.

Corn Cheese Toast Fresh sweet corn, mixed with grated cheese, herbs, and pepper, is spread over toasted bread slices. Once grilled, the topping turns gooey and aromatic, making this a crowd-pleaser for evening tea.

Classic Aloo Chaat Boiled potatoes tossed with roasted cumin, chilli, lemon juice and tamarind chutney deliver the perfect mix of sweet, spicy and tangy flavours. Quick and irresistible, this chaat is a timeless favourite.
