7 Classic Punjabi Snacks That Can Make Us Ditch Any Diet

Punjab Has Everything For Everyone
We often tend to think Punjabi cuisine has the choicest meaty delicacies, which is valid to a great extent, and we cannot thank Kundan Lal enough for his Tandoori chicken and Butter chicken.
1. Amritsari Macchi
This toothsome, batter-fried sole fish sprinkled over with chaat masala is well worth the calories.
2. Amritsari Kulcha
From the kulcha capital of the country, this flatbread often comes with a spicy potato stuffing.
3. Chole Bhature
Desi brunch ka king kon? Chole Bhature is a match made in heaven between a rustic chickpea curry replete with hot spices and bhature.
4. Punjabi Samosa
Here’s a little tidbit you may not have known. Our humble samosa is not Indian at all.
5. Matthi
Growing up in Delhi with lots of Punjabi friends, I have always called this crispy, savoury and flaky biscuit ‘Mathhi’ instead of ‘Mathri'
6. Aloo Tikki
Another snack that may divide the internet. Yes, Aloo Tikki is indeed as much a property of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and also Punjab
7. Tandoori Chicken
How can we possibly leave this classic out? Chicken pieces coated in Tandoori masalas smoked in Tandoor, the charred snack goes best with rotis, chutney.
