Tea and Snacks go hand in hand in India. You can describe them as fritters or pakoras but there are many more to relish. Snacks are something which is part of life here, in between meals you can call them. They are had with tea, with drinks and cocktails, or just any time any moment.
India is a diverse country and probably all things are steeped deep in diversity. So are the yummy snacks and min boggling variety of tea blends. From chai stall snacks of samosas, aloo bondas, and pakoras the choice extends to sophisticated home finger foods that are churned by elite restaurants with some phoren recipes.
One of the snacks that have a Western origin is the sandwich which is followed by burgers and whatnot. Cutlet is another popular snack especially available in Indian Coffee Houses and Tea Lounges. This delicacy is not known to Westerners...before you get the notion.
Tea in India comes in thousands of blends some as masala chai or spiced tea. The variety of leaves available offers the common mind-boggling flavors of the tea. Chai, as it is called in the country, is consumed not only in the morning, and with high tea, it is drunk the whole day long.

Some of the snacks can also be consumed as full meals. These Dahi Vada, Idli, Vada, and Dosai are part of a meal be it lunch or dinner. In some big towns, people snack late at the night a habit that has a disastrous effect on health.
