The experience would be incomplete without a plate of hot pakoras to munch! Would watching movies with friends on a lazy Saturday afternoon be the same without a bowl of peanuts or butter popcorn? Would a party ever be complete without a range of rich snacks replete with paneer tikkas, baby corn fries, and all other favourites? Many such times in life, happiness takes precedence over diet, nutrition and other such sensibilities. And nobody is to blame—life is to be lived to the fullest!
