5 Snacks For Kite-Flying Breaks And Long Sankranti Catch-Ups
Makar Sankranti has always felt like a festival you snack your way through. Between flying kites, warming winter afternoons, and endless family conversations, there is always something crunchy, sweet, or sesame-filled within reach. I love how the food feels unfussy yet meaningful, tied to warmth, energy, and togetherness. These five snacks are the kind you keep nibbling on while the day quietly stretches, whether you are on the terrace, by the window, or around a table with people you love.
Because every good kite-flying break deserves an even better snack!
Til Ladoo
Soft, nutty, and gently sweet, til ladoos are Sankranti staples that bring warmth and energy, perfect for quick bites between kite flying rounds and family chatter.
Mathri
Crisp, flaky, and lightly spiced, mathris are made for slow snacking, pairing effortlessly with chai and long conversations that stretch well past sunset.
Gajak
Crunchy sheets of sesame and jaggery come together in gajak, delivering bold texture and deep flavour that feels festive, nostalgic, and endlessly satisfying.
Poha Chivda
Light, crunchy, and spiced just right, poha chivda is the ultimate all-day snack, easy to munch by the handful while keeping things festive yet balanced.
Peanut Chikki
Crunchy, roasted peanuts bound with jaggery make this classic Sankranti treat hearty, nostalgic, and ideal for quick energy boosts during long afternoons of kite-flying and conversations.
No grand spreads needed, just familiar flavours and good company. Let the kites soar, the snacks circulate, and the day unfold at its own easy pace.
Enjoy the good weather and Happy Sankranti!
