Everyone knows that Indians love their spices. No matter what time of day it is, whether it’s street food on a rainy day, snacks during evening chai, or late-night cravings that come out of nowhere, one thing is always the same: the need for that teekha kick. You can’t help but want to eat spicy Indian snacks. It wakes up your senses, makes you cry (in a good way), and keeps you coming back for more.
And thanks to food delivery apps, you don’t even have to step out to enjoy your favourites. From North to South, we’ve rounded up 5 of the spiciest Indian snacks you can easily order online—perfect for when your taste buds are craving some serious action.
Mirchi Bhajiya (Chilli Pakora)
Let’s start with a true classic. Mirchi Bhajiya, also known as Mirchi Vada in some parts of India, is a bold and beautiful snack. Long green chillies (usually the less spicy kind, don’t worry!) are slit, stuffed with spiced potato or besan masala, dipped in gram flour batter, and deep-fried till golden.
Crispy on the outside, soft and fiery inside—these bhajiyas are best enjoyed hot, with green chutney and a side of bravery. Popular in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, they’re a must-try for spice lovers.
Andhra-Style Spicy Samosa
You know the regular samosa, but have you ever had the spicy Andhra-style one? These are not a joke. This samosa is spicy with every bite because it is filled with mashed potatoes, chopped green chilies, curry leaves, and local spices. The flaky and crispy crust makes it even more tempting.
You will be wiping your forehead if you add garlic chutney on the side (pun intented).
Kolhapuri Misal Pav
If you think pav bhaji is hot, wait until you try Misal Pav from Kolhapur. This Maharashtrian dish has spicy sprouted lentil curry on top, along with farsan (a crunchy mix), chopped onions, coriander, and a lot of lemon juice. On the side, there is buttered pav.
The spice level can be intense—Kolhapuri masalas aren’t for the faint-hearted—but the flavour payoff is totally worth it.
Chicken 65 (Spicy Veg Version Also Available)
Originally from Tamil Nadu, Chicken 65 is a fiery deep-fried snack marinated in red chillies, garlic, curry leaves, and lots of southern masalas. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and often served with raw onion and lemon—this dish is full of bold flavours.
Not a meat eater? No problem. Many places now offer a Paneer 65 or Gobi 65, which are just as spicy and satisfying.
Chilli Momo (Dry or Gravy)
Say hello to one of India’s favourite Indo-Chinese snacks—Chilli Momo. Steamed or fried momos are tossed in a wok with garlic, green chillies, soy sauce, vinegar, and a generous splash of red chilli sauce. The result? A spicy, saucy, absolutely irresistible snack that disappears in minutes.
From college canteens to hipster cafes, this one’s earned its place in the spicy snacks hall of fame.
