Sandige

Okay, so have you ever played at the beach and felt the sand in your toes? Well, sandige is a little like that, but it's actually a kind of snack that comes from India.

You see, people in India like to make a snack out of lentil flour, which is kind of like a special kind of powder made from beans. They mix it up with some spices and water, and then they shape it into little circles or thin sticks.

After they make the snack, they leave it out in the sun for a few days to dry out. This is kind of like how you leave your towel out in the sun after swimming to dry it off. The sun helps to dry out the snack and make it crunchy.

So, when the sandige is all dried out and crunchy, people can store it in a container and eat it later. It's kind of like a chip or cracker that you might eat for a snack.

So, there you have it, sandige is a crunchy snack from India made out of lentil flour, spices, and water that is dried out in the sun to make it crunchy and tasty. Yum!
