Doosra makes delicious Indian-inspired snacks with a sweet twist 

doosra is a decidedly non-traditional take on classic Indian chai-time snacks. The originals are great, but we craved something a little different, a doosra iteration. We combined classic Indian ingredients like boondi, amchur, and Kerala-style banana chips with sweet, indulgent flavors.

We hope doosra introduces anyone unfamiliar with Indian snacks to the wide array of both sweet & savory treats we and the broader South-Asian culture have to offer. On the flip side, doosra would like to show fellow South Asians that the complexity of our spices and textures pair deliciously with more than just raisins and dried fruit.

The best part? Our snacks are meant to be shared with friends, family, and strangers over chai, a glass of wine, or at an ice cream party. Wherever you eat our snacks, we hope you’re smiling and having a blast with those who mean the world to you. That’s what chai-time snacks were made for.

I absolutely LOVED the mix...it's the perfect combination of savory + sweet. They've certainly perfected the crunch. I also like how the white chocolate bites aren't too overpowering.

Such a delicious mix. Perfect salty to sweet ratio, same for the crunch and soft white chocolate bits. Will purchase again. 

I was lucky enough to try "The Mix" at a housewarming party where the founder, Kartik, put out a bowl of samples for anyone to try.  I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this – I didn't grow up with much variety in flavor beyond the chinese-american palate, but I definitely love savory snacks. I really enjoy the combo of the seasoned chickpea flour puffs + white chocolate. They're growing and starting to get carried at stores like The Goods Mart and Popup Grocer. 

Similar to chinese culture, Kartik shared that this is a snack you'd typically put out with chai or if you're hosting anyone, and we would always put out nuts or seeds when guests came over. So beyond the snack itself, the story is heartwarming and relatable. Definitely a snack I can see myself putting out whenever friends come over or sneaking into the movie theater. 

Update: I've had a handful of friends try this now and they all become hooked and ask "where can I buy this?!" and luckily they're stocked in a handful of locations throughout NYC but also available online, so I think that speaks to the product itself.
