A cosy tea time spread of festive snacks, biscuits and cookies, ready for guests
Ask anyone what the festive season smells like, and chai will be somewhere in the answer. Between long catch-ups with relatives and unplanned visits from neighbours, the tea kettle rarely gets a rest. The snacks that go with it matter just as much, because they are what people reach for again and again. Fried sweets and heavy mithai are part of the joy, but a few lighter healthy options on the table give everyone a choice. A good tea time spread does not need to be fancy. It needs variety, a little crunch, and something that suits both the sweet tooth and the savoury one.
