    Crispy Cauliflower Pakodas are some delicious snacks you can enjoy for any time and especially great when you are sitting back to enjoy a movie!

    Though I have so many pakodas shared, I checked and saw that this lip smacking pakodas are missing from the list. We enjoy some spicy fried chilies with crisp curry leaves deep fried. These make some wonderful evening snack for kids as well.

    For the Kids Delight Theme on Movie Munchies, I thought I should showcase dishes that are enjoyed by kids while they watch movies. To be very frank, my kids get Lays chips packet for movie watching as these are not allowed in regular time. We get them the lays packet when we travel or when we watch movies.

    So its not very often that I make snacks for them when we plan a movie. However, the last time I made sure I made some homemade snacks and enjoy the movies.
