🇮🇳 A Taste of India: 4 Irresistible Dry Snacks to Try from Chandra – If you’re new to Indian snacks — or just want to try something different — here are four brilliant options you can find right here at Chandra Foods UK.
🍌 Banana Pepper Wafers
Who doesn’t love bananas? These crispy banana wafers are a clever twist on a classic fruit. Made from thinly sliced raw bananas and seasoned with Indian spices, they’re full of potassium and naturally satisfying. The addition of a gentle peppery kick makes them a brilliant dry snack to serve at parties — especially when paired with music, laughter, and good company.
Why we love them:
•Crunchy & light
•Rich in potassium
•A healthier snack option
•Loved by both adults and kids!
🧂 Salt & Spicy Para
Salt and Spicy Para (or “namak para”) is a classic Indian treat made from plain flour, sunflower oil, and a bold blend of spices like ajwain, black pepper, and sesame seeds. These golden bites are fried until crisp and make a fantastic tea-time snack.
Ingredients:
Plain flour (wheat gluten), water, sunflower oil, sugar, ajwain, black pepper, salt, sesame seeds.
Perfect for:
•Sharing with friends
•Afternoon pick-me-ups
•Adding spice to snack platters
Don’t be fooled by the name — these aren’t incense sticks! Masala sticks are crunchy, savoury snacks flavoured with classic Indian spices. They’re perfect for those who love layered flavours and a satisfying crunch.
Tip: Keep a bowl of these handy during movie night — you won’t regret it!
Why you’ll love them:
•Bursting with masala flavour
•Fun, crunchy texture
•Great alternative to crisps
đź’ś Kand Wafers (Purple Yam Crisps)
Kand wafers are made from thinly sliced purple yams (also known as kand) and lightly seasoned with black pepper (kalimirch) and rock salt (sendha namak). Not only are they delicious, but they’re also packed with nutrients — making them a healthier choice for snacking.
