Feeling hungry? Then try some.....

POPULAR INDIAN SNACKS!  So earlier today, (working on our blog, of course) I came across this great website.  It lists several tasty Indian snacks, and gives links to how to make them! I recognized some of them, and let me give you some background info:
Samosa- a fried pastry stuffed with various spiced veggies and meats
Original Chaat- a mixture of pieces of potatoes, fried bread, chickpeas, some 'tangy-salty' spices, with sour homemade Indian chili and something called Saunth (dried ginger and tamarind sauce), fresh coriander leaves (used once again in Indian cuisine!), and yogurt as a garnish. Wow.
Bhelpuri- a type of Chaat
Chivda- a combination of roasted peanuts, cashews, dalia, toasted rice flakes, and any other favorite flavors you wish to add
Vada Pav- (vegetarian!) a dish with finely cut green chilies and ginger and a tempering of mustard seeds are added to mushed, boiled potatoes. After dipping patties in a 'herb-seasoned batter of gram flour', they are deep fried.

Those are just a sample of the wonderful snacks available, so please feel free to click on the link! http://indianfood.about.com/od/snacks/tp/topsnacks.htm
