Tea time is a very special time to be enjoyed with family and friends. A hot cup of Indian Masala Chai can revive your spirits when you are tired. Most people prefer biscuits or khakhra as an accompaniment to tea. On days when you do find time, you can prepare a nice, hot and tasty tea-time snack. In fact, some hot snacks served as an accompaniment can really make your day.

Most of the hot tea-time snacks must be served immediately after preparation to enjoy the fresh blast of taste and exciting textures. Re-heating and serving later doesn’t work well. So, prepare everything beforehand but cook the snack just before serving.
