Whether boiled or roasted, corn prepared with lemon, butter and spices creates a tangy snack that’s smoky in taste and what better way to eat it than with the warmth of the monsoon evenings.

Another snack to indulge with chai in the evening is an aloo tikki. Crispy on the outside, and spiced potato patty on the inside, these shallow-fried snacks gets you back to comfort and warm you up, especially when sipping evening masala chai or ginger tea.

Stuffed bread bathed in pakora batter with a spiced potato stuffing is the ultimate snack. Crispy on the outside while soft from within and great to wash down with tea.
