susla in a serving bowl
Mandakki susla recipe -  Susla is nothing but upma prepared with soaked puffed rice and I made it as evening  teatime snack. It is very simple to make and easy on stomach.

They may find it energy booster as it is rich in carbohydrate. It is more beneficial  when eaten along with a glass of hot milk or lassi.

banana chips image
Banana chips or plantain wafors recipe - Banana chips is an easy to prepare snack which is very tasty. When I serve some crispy snacks with hot cup of tea or coffee to my family and friends, it gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Chips are also called as wafors.  
In Kerala, Tamil Nadu and some parts of Karnataka, a variety of banana called nendra baale (plantain) is used to make these chips. But, here I don't get that variety. So, without any option, I make chips with banana which is easily available in the vegetable market. In comparison, chips prepared with nendra banana is more tastier than the chips prepared with other varieties of banana.

Shankarpali recipe - How to make shankarpali - Diwali snacks recipe

Shankarpali in a serving plate
Shankarpali recipe - Shankarpali is one such snack that I prepare every year during Diwali Festival. This is a fabulous snack, prepared by using all purpose flour and semolina. Addition of semolina adds extra taste, texture and crunchiness to the Shankarpali.  The dough is kneaded with sugar water to get slightly sweet taste that we like shankarpali this way. The small portion of dough is rolled out to thin roti, then cut into square shape and deep fried till golden brown and crispy. This Shankarpali is purposely puffed  just to make it burst in the mouth on biting, while eating. This is a mouth watering snack that served with hot  tea or coffee.
