Feeling glum on a monsoon day? Set it right with mouth-watering Pyazi! A traditional Bengali snack, the pyazi is deep-fried onion bhajiya with a touch of kalanji. This recipe here comes with a healthy twist. The same irresistible taste and aroma is achieved by cooking the pyazi in a healthy way using just a teaspoon of oil. It requires a bit of tact to tava-cook such snacks, but once you get the hang of it you can cook many of your favourite foods in a healthy way. Serve the Pyazi hot and fresh with green chutney.

Bengali style recipe which is enjoyed as a snack by most. Not being cooked in too much oil, it is healthy. The methi ghugni is a variation to ghugni, with the addition of fenugreek leaves. These are a good source of iron, folic acid and vitamin A which help to boost haemoglobin levels as well immunity. The masalas and the final touch of coriander, on the other hand, adds to the appeal and taste of this Bengali snack. It's quite satiating thus avoiding munching on other fried snacks.

Nimki is a fried Indian snack made with maida as the main ingredient. Nimki is an all-time favourite Bengali jar snack, which has a very appetizing flavour and extremely interesting mouth-feel! Surprisingly, this snack requires only a few ingredients.
