What it is

A2B takes its name from its outlet in Adyar, Chennai, and has since opened branches in the USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Canada and the UK. Fried moong dal is split yellow moong fried until crisp and salted, the simplest savoury in the snack tin and usually the first bowl to empty.

It is small, crisp and light, crunchy without being hard, and it takes a squeeze of lemon well. Choosing between A2B savouries? Moong Dal for plain and salty; Dhall Mixture for a crunchier mix; Kara Boondi for spicy, puffed gram flour pearls.

Tip: Toss a handful with chopped onion, tomato, coriander and lemon just before serving. It makes a two-minute chaat.
