August 15, 2022

A rainy season (also known as a wet season) is the time of year when the majority of a country’s or region’s annual precipitation occurs. It’s the part of the year when most of the rain falls. People usually crave hot and spicey foods during the rainy season. This article discusses rainy seasonal foods.

Monsoon or even Rainy is that season, when your heart and brain, by default start feeling good.

When it’s raining heavily outside, your heart wants just one thing, and it’s some kind of delicious food.

To calm your craving for food, here’s a list of a few food items that are synonymous with the monsoon season.

 Bhutta (Corn)

Its tastes even better with your friends and loved ones, sitting in open, enjoying stove-hot bhutta. Just make sure that your bhutta is garnished properly with loads of lemon juice and spice.

Pakoras

Mouth-watering pakoras and a cup of tea is a mind-boggling combination, during the monsoon. You can alter your choice by choosing from wide range of onion pakora, potato pakora, cauliflower pakora and paneer pakora. Homemade or buying those from street-side, pakoras are the best option, topped with mint sauce and imli chutney.

Samosa

Samosa can be considered as another drool-worthy snack, this monsoon. Gone are the days, when people had only potato samosa on their list, now you can choose from the wide range of specialized samosas. You can choose from Pasta samosa, chilly-paneer samosa, nutria- samosa, keema samosa and numerous other varities. So, without giving a second thought just drool on them.

Masala Chai

What could be better than sitting at your roof-shed and enjoying little raindrops, while listening to your favorite music track, with a cup of masala chai in hand? A cup of strong, masala chai consisting of ginger and green cardamom will be a complete stress-buster.

 Kachoris

Imagine the taste of lip-smacking kachoris, served with spicy potato curry, what else do you need, while raining? You can serve hot fries and chips to add on the cherry on the cake. Sounds amazing? Isn’t it?

 Soup

A bowl of hot soup, whether vegetable or clear soup is all you need this monsoon. This season not only brings happiness but carries lots of flues and viruses in the air. A bowl of healthy soup will serve both purposes, as to keep those flues away and to also to please your warm taste buds.

Momos

A Plate of delicious chicken or vegan dim sum, is a must have this watery season. Served with spicy garlic chutney and mayonnaise, hot steamy momos will take you to the gateway of heaven.

Jalebi

Why not add, a sweet dish to your list of monsoon diaries? Garma-garam thin jalebis tastes mouth-watering and delicious in monsoon. Circular shaped jalebis dipped in sugary syrup with the combination of samosas are just near to perfect.

Roasted Chicken Tikka

Roasted chicken with mint sauce with the backdrop of rain, isn’t it the best thing in the world? The crispy roasted chicken with the onion rings is the perfect crave-buster for non-vegetarians, this monsoon season.

Vada-paav

The trademark delicacy of Mumbai is now available in every metro city. The buttery paav with potato bunda is perfect for monsoon. It tastes even better, when served with green chili along with red chili paav. Beat the cold rain drops with the pleasure of hot vada-paav.
