All
around the world when people celebrate a festival, food is the first thing on
the list of preparations. Every festival has traditional meal or dish(es)
associated with it since centuries.
I
love Shakkarpara! It is a terrific tea time (or any other time) snack. There
are some snacks that go really well along with tea; like mathri, namak pare and
shakkarpare.
Besan
ladoos are known as magad ke ladoo in
Hindi. You must have eaten the Besan ke ladoo made by grandmother and mom since
your childhood.
Mathris
are popular north Indian sanck. They are salty crackers laced with ajwain. They are served with mango pickle, but I like to have them
with tea or as a afternoon snack. There are many versions of making mathri, I
will keep on sharing them on the blog.
