4 Indian Comfort foods for the monsoon

 

If you are still pondering over what to make, then you can still go ahead and indulge in some of these comfort food.

1. Soup – Sorry we are not going to talk about how healthy it is. When you are staying indoors during the rains, a bowl of piping hot soup can elevate your soul.

2. Kadak chai: On a rainy evening, a cup of adrak pudina chai (ginger mint tea) is perfect. If you love to be outdoors, go for a ride to soak in the rains and then stop at a roadside tea stall to have your share of cuppa.

3. Chips and Dip – Yes, easy to make and great to have on a rainy day. Curl up with a book and savor your chips with a cheesy dip. Or better still pick up your favourite DVD and then enjoy the movie with your fill of chips and dip. Well, this is not the time to think about dieting. But don’t make it a daily affair.

4. Pakodas: Nothing can beat the joy of having pakodas during the rainy season. Choose from onion, potato, green chilly, paneer pakodas and enjoy the ‘fried’ fare. Once in a while you can definitely indulge.
And if you are one of those persons who love their share of sweet fare, then go for a ‘sizzling’ brownie with chocolate sauce.
