Packed with Indian spices and nostalgia, Indian snacks and munchies are unique and unbeatable in taste. Since India is a land of several ethnicities and cuisines, the snacks of India depict a vast palate of flavours, so allow us to take you through some of the most iconic munchies of India, we assure you after trying all of these, the melanin content in your body will shoot right up!

Nestle Maggi

If you ever want to pick a fight or irritate a brown person, just tell them you do not like their Maggi, it will be more than enough to awaken the angry beast in them. Maggi is a pack of noodles that comes with a sachet of spicy Indian powdered mix. Japan might have won the world by their ramen but trust us when we say we have aced the noodle game. We take our Maggi very seriously and no two people in India will ever have the same recipe for Maggi. Making a good bowl of Maggi is a skill one acquires one try at a time, start from the basic water and Maggi Masala and then slowly work your way up by adding butter, cheese or veggies to it. The best thing about Maggi is that it is super flexible, it can be your 2 am craving or your 1 pm wholesome Lunch, so to find the chef in you, do not underestimate this one!

India’s Magic Masala Lays

Magic Masala Lays

Magic Masala Lays has been India’s favourite pack of chips from time immemorable. New variants may come and go but the classic “Blue Lays” is forever.

Parle Agro's Frooti

Parle Agro’s Frooti is a juicy, Mango based drink that we started consuming as kids but forgot to eradicate from our diet. A lot of other brands in India tried to beat this Mango drink by coming up with their versions, like Maaza, Minute Maid, Tropicana, etc. but none came close. We won’t tell you much about it and will let the juice speak for itself. Go get yourself a Frooti in this fun trial size and join the Frooti fandom!

Parle Agro's HideNSeek

If you are a chocolate lover, there is a high chance you are going to like this pack of cookies. Filled with chocolate chips in the middle, these are small delights that are hard to get enough of in one piece.

In actuality, Fatafat Candy is an ayurvedic digestive ball, however, its taste is so addictive that it quickly took the crowd by a storm in India. It is quite difficult to put the taste of a Fatafat candy into words, but to sum up, it takes your tastebuds through a roller coaster ride wherein sometimes the ride is sweet the other times it is sour, but all through, it is worth it.

Thums up

  

How many times have you sat down to compare the taste between Coca Cola and Pepsi? Well, after having Thums Up you are going to find yourself asking more of such questions. This drink tastes similar to those two but is very dear and unique to us. Only true Thums up fans can differentiate the between the three, get yourself a Thums up to level up in this ongoing battle of which drink is the best.

Which is why we Indians make our digestive pills taste good. Hajmola comes in multiple flavours, all of them showcasing a new side of brown food, our favourite is the Pudina (Mint) one but you could be experimentative and try the other ones as well.
