Monsoon is the season when your heart and brain start to feel wonderful by default. When it’s pouring outside, your heart craves only two things: romance and exquisite, mouth-watering cuisine. To satisfy your hunger, we’ve compiled a list of foods that are associated with the monsoon season.
Let’s have a look at ten various foods that you might enjoy throughout this rainy season:
1. Bhutta (Corn)
Grab the nearest ‘Bhutta waala bhaiya’ if you like spicy cuisine, or even if you don’t. It tastes much better when you’re sitting in the open with your friends and loved ones, eating stove-hot bhutta. Simply ensure that your bhutta is appropriately garnished with plenty of lemon juice and spice.
2. Pakoras
During the monsoon, a plate of delectable pakoras with a cup of tea is a mind-blowing combo. You can customise your order by selecting from a variety of onion, potato, cauliflower, and paneer pakoras. Pakoras, covered with mint sauce and imli chutney, are the greatest option, whether homemade or purchased on the street.
3. Samosa
This monsoon, samosas might be regarded another drool-worthy snack. Gone are the days when people just had potato samosas on their menu; now there is a vast variety of specialised samosas to pick from. Pasta samosa, chilli paneer samosa, nutria samosa, keema samosa, and a variety of additional options are available. So, without a second’s hesitation, drool on them.
4. Masala Chai
What could be better than sitting in your roof-shed, watching raindrops fall while listening to your favourite music and sipping masala chai? A cup of strong masala chai with ginger and green cardamom can help you relax completely.
5. Maggi
The preparation time for this two-minute noodle is obviously longer than two minutes, but it’s well worth the wait. Furthermore, enjoying a ‘Rain Waali Maggi’ is a completely unique experience. Maggi is simple to prepare, customizable, and never fails to delight. You can get an all-vegetable maggi, or a chicken maggi, or fried maggi, or even the plain old ‘default’ maggi. There are so many different ways to prepare maggi!
6. Soup
This monsoon, all you need is a bowl of hot soup, whether vegetable or clear. This season not only offers joy, but it also comes with it a slew of flus and viruses. A bowl of nourishing soup will keep the virus at bay while simultaneously pleasing your warm taste buds.
7. Momos
This watery season, a plate of delectable chicken or vegan dim sum is a must-have. Hot steamy momos with spicy garlic chutney and mayonnaise will transport you to the gates of heaven.
8. Coffee
Coffee drinkers don’t need a reason to indulge in their favourite beverage. A wet day, on the other hand, becomes an excuse to drink more coffee. You can order a cappuccino or latte as usual, or add some ‘Irishness’ to your coffee, or find a charming tiny South Indian place and sit down with a cup of filter coffee.
9. Vada-Paav
Mumbai’s signature flavour is now available in every metropolis. For monsoon, the buttery paav with potato bunda is ideal. When paired with green chilli and red chilli paav, it tastes even better. With the joy of hot vada-paav, you can beat the cold raindrops.
10. Chaat Tikki
Chaat makes the notion of eating your favourite Chaat much more appealing. If you don’t want to venture out in the rain, bundle up and create your own version of Chaat Tikki, which your friends and family will lick clean.
