Classic Rainy Delights
Certain dishes become monsoon staples. Samosas, pakoras, and kanda bhajji (onion fritters) are popular choices. Home kitchens also buzz with activity. Many homes also prepare khichdi, a light and comforting meal, and other warm, nourishing meals during this season.
Embracing the Season
