Crunch Meets Creativity: Easy snacks for your 4 PM cravings
Snacking is one love language that all Indians speak fluently. Whenever someone drops by, we greet them with a heaping plate of snacks. During late-night study sessions, moms place their love quietly beside our desks, hidden in plates of snacks.
We may disagree on the perfect dinner, but as soon as it’s 4 PM, we’re all united by a common craving: something crunchy, something chatpata, and something that is the perfect solution for our choti-moti bhook. Whether it’s the middle of a hectic workday or a lazy afternoon at home, we long for the comfort that only ghar ka swaad can offer. That’s where Mother’s Recipe Papad comes in, to make everyday snacking a lot more satisfying.
Keep it cheesy or keep it spicy, whatever you may crave, here are five snacks you can whip up with Mother’s Recipe Papad.
1.Nachos - Desi Style
Who says nachos can’t be desi?
Swap your usual nachos for a crunchy base of Mother’s Recipe Garlic Green Chilli Papad. Top it off with chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, fresh coriander, and a generous drizzle of Mother’s Recipe Bhelpuri Chutney. Garnish your desi nachos with chaat masala and lemon juice, and you’ve got a snack that’s tangy, spicy, and impossible to stop at just one bite.
