Friday eve is that point of the week when we pamper ourselves with some self-care and play preferred programs on OTT platforms. Are you a foodie? Then nothing tastes better than a plateful of desired snacks. Therefore, for your Friday binge, Executive Chef Avanish Jain, Holiday Inn Chandigarh Zirakpur, shares two delightful snack recipes that are yummy, easy, and will make you feel brighter.
