As terrific as a great cup of chai can be, we all know that you elevate the experience better than the right snack. From samosas to barfis, from pakoras to momos, India is a cultural platter of mouth-wateringly delicious snacks that complement our everyday Chai rituals. Whether you’ve got a sweet tooth, or looking for something savory, here are 10 classic snack pairings to enjoy alongside a cup of our instant tea premixes!
Â
Biscuits
The obvious choice, ol’ reliable. Very few things in life go together as well as biscuits and chai. Whether it’s a crunchy cracker or a rich chocolate cookie, there’s a tea-and-biscuit pair for any and every occasion!
Samosas
Perhaps India’s most famous snack, our love for chai-samosa can never be overstated. This savory delight perfectly complements the sweet & spicy flavors of chai. For many, it is the king of chai snacks.
Â
Pakoras
We’re always looking for an excuse to unwind with some chai, and sometimes a bit of rain is all it takes to make us want to curl up with a warm cuppa and a plate of piping hot pakoras. Internationally better recognised as ‘Fritters’, these delicious fried snacks are small explosions of flavor.
Â
Cake
Who says cakes are only for special occasions? Every day is special, and every day is a celebration, so have a slice of cake with your cup of evening chai. Whether it's a rich fruitcake, or a light sponge cake, turn up your snack game with a slice of your favorite!
Â
Sweets
While this is a wide net to throw, it just goes to show how versatile a cup of chai can be. From barfis to rasmalai, there is a wide plethora of irresistible sweet treats that pair well with a warm cuppa of your favorite brew.
In conclusion, a delicious and comforting drink can be made even better by pairing it with the right snack. Whether you prefer something sweet or savory, there is a snack out there that will perfectly complement your cup of chai.
