In a world chasing bold and authentic flavors, Indian ethnic snacks are taking center stage. And no surprise — these crispy creations carry centuries of culinary wisdom, regional identity, and addictive taste.

From bhujiya in Rajasthan to murukku in Tamil Nadu, and chanachur in Bengal — every region has its own snack story. What makes them special? It’s their simplicity, spice balance, and versatility.

Today, these snacks are crossing borders. You’ll find packets of chanachur in London tea shops, bhujiya in New York delis, and mixture in Dubai supermarkets. Why? Because these flavors connect people to their roots — and offer something different from bland global bites.

Amar Chanachur is proud to be part of this wave. Our products celebrate authentic Bengali taste, but with packaging and quality that speak to modern snackers across the world.

Crispy, spicy, and rooted in culture — ethnic snacks aren’t just back, they’re here to stay.

Tiffin time in Bengali households is a sacred ritual — a moment for comfort, warmth, and crispy delights. Whether it’s early morning or late afternoon, these light bites are deeply tied to memory and tradition.

Here are 5 iconic tiffin snacks you’ll always find in a Bengali kitchen:

1. Chira Bhaja (Fried Flattened Rice): Light, crispy, and perfect with tea — often mixed with peanuts, green chillies, and a squeeze of lime.
2. Muri Makha: Puffed rice tossed with mustard oil, onions, chillies, and chanachur. A street-side favorite!
3. Tele Bhaja: Vegetable fritters like beguni (eggplant fritters) or aloor chop, best served hot with kasundi (mustard sauce).
4. Shingara: The Bengali cousin of samosa, filled with spiced potatoes and peas.
5. Narkel Nimki: Diamond-shaped fried flour snacks with a touch of coconut — subtly sweet and savory.

At Amar Chanachur, we recreate these memories through our tiffin-friendly snack packs. Easy to carry, easier to love.

If you grew up in Bengal, chances are that chanachur was more than just a snack — it was a part of your everyday life. From evening cha-er shomoy (tea time) to train journeys and para’r addas, chanachur has been a constant companion for generations.

Chanachur, often called the Bengali version of namkeen, is a spicy, tangy, and crunchy mix of fried lentils, nuts, sev, and aromatic spices. But what sets Bengali chanachur apart is its bold use of mustard oil, fried curry leaves, and that perfect hint of heat.

At Amar Chanachur, we stay true to these roots. Our recipe is inspired by traditional methods, passed down through families and perfected over time. Each bite carries that unmistakable zing of Bengal’s street-side snack culture — robust, nostalgic, and utterly addictive.

Whether you’re snacking solo or sharing with loved ones, chanachur is more than food — it’s a flavor-packed journey back home.
