Did you receive many snacks and sweets for Diwali 2024? Are you wondering what to do with them? Are you trying different ways to finish them off before they turn soft or go bad? Well, a vlogger recently posted a unique solution to this dilemma. It consists of dipping the snacks with tea (chai or “chaha” in Marathi) every day til they’re over. In the reel shared by @hungryexplorerss, we see a person dunking a bhajni chakli into a cup of tea. Next, they are seen adding some poha chivda to the drink. Both of these treats are a part of traditional Diwali faral – a collection of Maharashtrian delicacies typically made/distributed during this festival.

The viral video has received 3.6 million views so far. Foodies had a lot to say about it in the comments section. While some disliked the idea of chivda and chai, others simply joked it was a kind of “masala chai”. A few people shared other types of Diwali faral they like having with tea.
