There’s something about movie nights that calls for good company, a cozy blanket, and a bowl of crunchy, spicy snacks. But if you grew up in India, you know popcorn and chips just don’t hit the same way. Nothing replaces that familiar bite of bhujia, the tangy burst of sev murmura, or the satisfying crunch of mixture chivda.

For Indians living in Germany, recreating that snacking experience has become easier than ever. From Haldiram’s to Bikano, Anant Supermarkt brings your favourite namkeen and snack varieties right to your doorstep — anywhere in Germany.

Here’s your ultimate guide to Indian snacks for movie nights, featuring classic flavours, top brands, and some creative pairing ideas to make your evenings even better.

The All-Time Favourite – Bhujia & Sev

No Indian snack list is complete without bhujia. Made from gram flour and spices, it’s crunchy, spicy, and incredibly addictive.

Top Picks Available at Anant Supermarkt

• Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia – Tangy and crispy, perfect for solo munching or with soft drinks.

• Bikano Plain Bhujia – A milder, classic taste for everyone.

• Balaji Ratlami Sev – Spicy, thick sev with authentic Madhya Pradesh flavour.

• Balaji Gathiya – Ideal for dipping into green chutney or adding to bhel puri.

Movie Night Tip: Pair bhujia with masala chai during thrillers or horror movies. The warmth and spice elevate the experience!

Chivda Mixes – The Perfect All-Rounder

Chivda is a festival and everyday favourite alike — a wholesome mix of flattened rice, peanuts, lentils, curry leaves, and spices. It’s light yet full of flavour, and pairs perfectly with any movie genre.

Anant Supermarkt Recommendations

• Gramarhein Kerala Mixture – Spicy, southern-style mix with fried curry leaves.

• Bikano Khatta Meetha Mix – A sweet and tangy favourite for family movie nights.

• Balaji Tikha Mitha Mix – A balanced mix of sweet and spice — great with cold drinks.

• A2B Madras Mixture – South Indian classic for those who love authentic regional flavours.

Pro Tip: Warm your chivda in the oven for a few minutes before serving — it brings back that fresh, homemade crispness.

Crunchy Chips & Modern Indian Flavours

Germany loves its potato chips, but Indian chips bring a whole new level of flavour. Think Masala Munch, Spanish Tomato Tango, and Chilli Chatka — every bite packs spice, tang, and nostalgia.

Top Selling Options

• Kurkure Masala Munch – The ultimate Indian-style crunch; perfect for binge-watching.

• Lay’s India’s Magic Masala – Iconic masala seasoning that’s impossible to resist.

• Balaji Chataka Pataka Masala Masti – Crispy and fiery, a true desi alternative to German chips.

• Neals Potato Chips Fryums (Crinkle Cut) – Great for sharing, especially with chutney or ketchup.

Movie Night Combo Idea: Pair Indian chips with Thums Up or Frooti for the complete cinema experience at home.

Namkeen Snacks That Steal the Show

Beyond bhujia and chips, there’s a world of namkeen options waiting to be rediscovered. They’re great for family gatherings, group movie marathons, or just an evening alone with your favourite show.

Best Namkeen Mixes to Try

• Haldiram’s Khatta Meetha – Sweet-spicy perfection, a timeless Indian snack.

• Regal Hot Bombay Mix – A British-Indian fusion classic, spicy and flavourful.

Serving Suggestion: Add finely chopped onions, coriander, and a dash of lemon juice to elevate these namkeens into instant chaat-style snacks.
