Snacking and binge-eating are often regarded as wrong and truly they are unhealthy. Not just that, they also make your body lazy and ruin your sleep cycle. While there are several studies that show how unhealthy midnight snacking can be, it is sometimes okay to have a cheat day, right? Also, mid-night munchies do not always have to be unhealthy.
So, here are 7 snacking ideas for all those who love staying up late in the night.
1.Bread Omelette
Bread Omelette is one of the easiest snacking ideas. All you need are bread, eggs and some spices. Toss the bread on a pan with some butter and fry them. Then dip it in an egg batter made with eggs, salt, red chilly powder and a dash of pepper. And, if you wish to play around with your food, add onions, tomatoes, green chilles and bell peppers to your egg batter.
2.Bhel Puri
Bhel Puri is a famous Indian street food. A savoury food that falls under the chaat category, Bhel Puri is super famous for its tangy and spicy flavours. If you are having those serious chaat cravings, this is the best option. Take puffed rice, onions, tomatoes, onions, green chillies and add a dash of salt, red chilly powder and lemon juice to it. Mix it well and your Bhel is ready. You can also add sev or tamarind juice, provided you have it.
3.Biscuit Cake
Cake might seem like a task, from ingredients to oven, who can go through it in the night, right? But have you ever tried a biscuit cake? This cake can be made with minimal ingredients and you do not need an oven or a pressure cooker for it. All you need are some biscuits, cocoa powder, butter and sugar.
