Dry fruit always comes to the rescue in foggy winter nights. And you are not too far if you are fond of some bhonay kalay chanay, or lose chali or just the chali/sitta wala. If you are out shopping these winters, stop by some good old chanay walay bhai, and get your favourite bhonay chanay, or bhonay hoay chali. A perfect appetizer if you plan on a proper dinner at a fancy restaurant later on.

Many of you might have become nostalgic thinking of your university days going through the above. What is student life if you haven’t tried all or at least any one of the above street food snacks? And if you haven’t, god forbid, then it’s never too late to try new things, right? 😉
