Evening chai time: which regional snacks actually keep you satisfied till dinner?
Chai or coffee time usually means samosas, bhajia, banana chips or sweets. Curious which regional tea-time snacks or small tweaks people actually use to avoid getting ravenous before dinner or before an evening workout. Do you prefer something savoury, roasted, or a sweet that still feels filling? Share what you buy or make and one tiny tweak that made a difference.

Aim for a small, balanced snack (about 150–250 kcal) combining protein + fibre ± healthy fat — that mix slows digestion and blunts the blood-sugar spike that makes you ravenous. Practical India-friendly picks: roasted chana, makhana, moong sprouts chaat, paneer/tawa-bhūrji cubes, a boiled egg, yogurt with chopped fruit & seeds, or a small bowl of upma/poha with veggies. Tiny tweaks that work: add roasted peanuts/chanas to banana chips, pair a samosa with a cup of curd/raita instead of chutney, or swap a sweet for a millet/peanut laddu. If you’ll train soon, eat 30–60 min before workout and favor easily digested carbs with some protein to fuel performance.
