My savory snacks, like these spicy peanuts and crisp murukku, are versatile enough to be paired with more than just tea. They make a wonderful accompaniment for evening cocktails and other beverages.

Even when enjoying a croissant, a few traditional Indian snacks add a delightful contrast. This table setting includes my masala avarebele and pudhina lime peanuts for that extra savory crunch.

About Savory & Crunchy Snacks

I prepare every snack in small batches right here in my kitchen, which means you get the crunch exactly as it should be—fresh, never soggy. Because I avoid preservatives and artificial colors, these snacks are meant to be enjoyed when they are at their peak, usually within a few weeks of delivery, so I recommend ordering only as much as you can happily finish.
