Shaam ka Nashta

inspiron · June 8, 2011, 10:45pm

In our family we eat ‘shaam ka nashta’ or tea time snack around 5 pm and these are some of my favourite sacks which my mum makes in batches and stores (apart from the ghugni)…Thank god I dont live at home or I would be obese!

Does your family have shaam ka nashta, and what do you eat?

nimki

Namak Para

shakkar para

Ghugni

Hakim Saeed was an advocate of eating only two times , to help country save and prosper. He wrote an article to promote that idea.

Re: Shaam ka Nashta

Don't whip it , it will not taste as good as it looks then.

Re: Shaam ka Nashta

whenever we are home [like on weekends and holidays] we do have something for the snack at ‘paune chai’ baje time [4:45 pm ] and that one or two item would include fruits, fruit chat, rusk cake, miThai or chaTpaTa like kachaaloo, chaaT, dahi bhalle etc. i LOVE afternoon tea time
