Groundnut and chana make a practical snack: crisp, filling, easy to share and able to wait in a jar or paper packet. Frying or roasting, the choice of chana and the addition of onion, chilli or spice vary by setting.
It belongs as much to station platforms and roadside pauses as to the container opened at home when chai arrives.
