In wet showers and pleasant weather, it is natural to crave for hot pakodas and spicy things. In such weather, we often get drawn towards the carts standing on the roadside. Just hearing the name of pakoda, chaat, sandwich or chilli paneer makes the mouth water. The taste outside is wonderful, but it is not always safe from a health point of view. So why not create the magic of street style in your home kitchen this monsoon? Here are 6 easy and delicious snack recipes that will make your tea time even more memorable.
The relationship between rain and pakodas is centuries old. To make crispy onion pakodas, mix finely chopped onions, green chillies, green coriander and some basic spices in gram flour. Adding a little cornflour to it makes the pakodas extra crispy. Serve them with mint or tamarind chutney and strong ginger tea. At the same time, if you want something light and quick to prepare, then sweet corn chaat is the best. Add onion, tomato, lemon juice, chaat masala and black salt to boiled corn. It is not only healthy but also tastes great.
If you want to make best use of bread then make bread rolls filled with spicy potato stuffing. Deep fry them till they turn golden and serve hot with tomato sauce. After eating this, you will forget the taste of outside snacks. Apart from this, Masala Veg Sandwich is also very much liked during rainy season. Made with potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, onions and a little cheese, this grilled sandwich is a favorite of everyone from adults to children. Adding mint chutney or spicy mayo to it makes it even more delicious.
The taste of Crispy Aloo Tikki with evening tea is unmatched. Bake the potato tikkis filled with boiled and mashed spices on the pan till they turn golden. Serve it with curd and sweet tamarind chutney, or you can also enjoy it in the form of tikki-chaat. And if you feel like eating Indo-Chinese food, then try Chilli Paneer at home. Toss the paneer pieces with capsicum, onion, garlic and sauce on high flame. Restaurant-like chilli paneer will be ready within 30 minutes.
The food available on the roadside may taste delicious, but it is very important to take care of cleanliness during monsoon. There is a fear of stomach upset due to eating outside. Therefore, the best thing is to prepare your favorite dish in your own kitchen, take care of cleanliness and enjoy this pleasant weather with your loved ones!
