Your Chai’s Best Friend, Delivered
A hot cup of chai can make one’s day better. It’s not merely a drink but a pause that consoles. But every cup of chai is incomplete without a little something on its side. Everyone wants the type of crunchy, delicious snack that keeps them returning for more. That’s where India’s traditional tea-time partners come in.
The Everyday Stars of Tea-Time
Each part of India has its go-to chai companion. From spicy samosas to butter biscuits, everyone has their favourites. But two snacks, murmura mixture and Bombay mixture, never falter in their appeal. Both are low-maintenance and flavour-packed and can easily be converted into something new with minimal fuss.
Quick Twists with Murmura Mixture
The beauty of murmura mixture is that it is so uncomplicated. Begin with puffed rice, which is so airy and eager to soak up whatever flavours you toss its way. Warm some ghee, and fry some mustard seeds, curry leaves and green chillies in it. Then add the murmura. The result is a fragrant and crisp tea-time nibble to accompany your steaming cup of chai.
If you want the chatpata taste, turn it into a quick bhel. You just need to add finely chopped onions, coriander, roasted peanuts and a little bit of lemon juice. It’s done in a minute and the flavours get a kick-start. Thanks to instant delivery services, you can get everything you require, from puffed rice, to peanuts and spices, delivered while your tea is brewing. Freshly made murmura mixture is now just a step away.
Creative Ways to Enjoy Bombay Mixture
Bombay mixture is the perfect snack that will lead you on a taste journey. Spicy and salty and bursting with texture, it is a mix that does not grow old. It can be enjoyed plain from the pack or made into a special dish with some modification. Sprinkle it over yoghurt for a crunchy raita or add to mashed potatoes along with a squeeze of lime for a chaat-style street food.
If you require quick energy, mix Bombay mixture with roasted nuts, raisins and pepper. The spiciness and sweetness makes it a party snack to be enjoyed any time. Every handful is fresh and comforting. You don’t need any special reason to eat this kind of snack, just a cup of tea and some moments of peace.

A soothing cup of chai, a bowl of murmura mixture or Bombay mixture, and a few moments of quiet are all you need to complete your evening.
