Who does not like to munch on something crunchy while watching TV or spending time with friends. We at home certainly do. The Popular brand Britannia has introduced one such munch on by the name of “Snackuits” in 3 different flavors and when Priya asked me if I could create something of it, I was so delighted to do it. Like the tag line says “Snack bhi” Baked bhi” there is no guilt of consuming more calories when you enjoy these Snackuits. It is indeed a “Naya concept hai ji”. I preferred to keep it the way they are and both the recipes that I did uses zero oil.
