Packed with flavor and originally from the northeastern regions and Tibet, momos are steamed dumplings filled with vegetables or meat. The warm, soft texture of momos makes them a comforting treat during the monsoon.
Rich and flavorful, Chole bhature combines spicy chickpea curry (chole) and deep-fried bread (bhature). This dish is making it a favorite comfort food during the monsoon.
A hearty and satisfying meal, popular street food consists of a spicy vegetable mash (bhaji) served with buttered bread rolls (pav) and made with a variety of vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and bell peppers, and is cooked with a special blend of spices.
Loved by all, no monsoon experience is complete without a cup of masala chai. This spiced tea is made by brewing black tea with aromatic spices like cardamom, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, another beloved snack, these deep-fried pastries are stuffed with a spicy mixture of potatoes, peas, and sometimes meat.
Smoky in flavor, roasted corn on the cob, also known as bhutta, is a popular street food during the monsoon, which is roasted over an open flame and seasoned with lemon juice, salt, and a mix of spices like red chili powder and chaat masala.
Nothing beats Pakoras, made by dipping vegetables like onions, potatoes, spinach, or paneer in a seasoned chickpea flour batter and frying until crispy and often enjoyed with spicy chutneys and a cup of hot tea.
