Post work, tea is the go-to choice of relaxation for Indians across the country! It is over a cup of chai that we get to de-stress from work and spend some quality time with our loved ones. Chai is incomplete without snacks, and namkeen is one chai-time snack that is always available in our pantries. However, consuming store-bought namkeen daily can be unhealthy. The packets are filled with preservatives and added colours that are not good for our health. But that doesn't mean we should stop eating namkeen altogether. Rather than indulging in store-bought namkeen, make namkeen at home on your own!
