If you were reared in an Indian household, you are aware that the combo of chai and pakora is always a mainstay when it pours.
However, eating the same old chai and bhajia throughout the year could get boring, don’t you think? We can therefore answer your question if you’re wondering if there are any other straightforward monsoon recipes that taste just as good. We’ve compiled a list of some delectable and easy monsoon meals that you may enjoy with your loved ones when the rain falls. So without further ado, let’s begin with the easiest and fastest monsoon meal recipes:

Corn Bhel
Eating corn outside while soaking up the rain on a quiet Sunday evening is incredibly reassuring. While roasted corn is a favorite among most people, you may also have a funkier, mouthwatering corn meal! Making corn bhel is simple and only requires a few ingredients, most of which are readily found in any Indian kitchen. It’s a really simple, entertaining, and mouthwatering dish perfect for the rainy season.
Ingredients – 1 lemon, red chili powder, chaat masala, chopped green chili, onions, tomatoes, and coriander (all finely chopped), boiled corn kernels.
How to make – Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl and stir well. Before serving, squeeze the lemon juice on top.
Bombay Sandwich
Though, before you point it out, we are aware that this is Mumbai, there is something nostalgic about referring to it as a “Bombay” sandwich. Everyone who was a child in the 1980s and 1990s would concur.
Mumbai is most known for two things, whether you live there or not: Bollywood and street cuisine. Try this monsoon dish at home if you haven’t tried the well-known Bombay-style sandwich.
Ingredients – bread pieces, onion, cumber, cooked potatoes, tomatoes, all thinly sliced, and any other veggies you choose (you can use lettuce, corn, or beets), along with optional butter, cheese, and mint chutney, paneer, and salt and pepper.
How to make – On one slice of bread, spread butter, and on the other, mint chutney. Arrange all the vegetable slices on top, season with salt and pepper, and serve with chaat masala sandwiched between the flatbread. Sprinkle some grated cheese over the sandwich’s top. The sandwich can be eaten as is or toasted. Lastly, add some more butter, tomato ketchup, and chutney on top.
Omelette in a bun/pav
Everyone enjoys this dish, which is among the best during the monsoon season. A couple of times a week, you prepare this nutritious evening snack and enjoy it with your family as it pours outside.
Ingredients – buns, eggs, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, chilies, and any other omelette-desiring vegetables that you cut finely. You can also use blanched spinach, as that is what some people like to add. Add the chilli flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper (all optional).
How to make –
Create a hole in the middle of a bun and set it aside. Combine the chopped vegetables with a little pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Separate the yolk and whisk the egg white in a another bowl.
Now preheat a pan, add a little butter to it, and add the bun with the hole. Place the vegetables in the hole. Pour the egg white over the top next. Lastly, cover it lightly with the yolk. If desired, grate in some cheese, season with salt and pepper, cover the pan, and cook for three to five minutes.
Cup Pizza
It’s never easy to refuse pizza, is it? Additionally, pizza in a cup might appear fascinating and thrilling. You could have found the perfect monsoon recipe if you’ve been looking for simple to prepare dishes. The pizza may be prepared in less than 15 minutes, which is its best feature.
Ingredients – One-fourth teaspoon baking soda, half a teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt, one to two tablespoons of all-purpose flour, one tablespoon of olive oil, and any preferred toppings or sauces.
How to make – Place the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, milk, and olive oil in a microwave-safe cup. Once well combined, your pizza foundation is ready.
Now, evenly distribute the desired sauces over the pizza dough and top with shredded cheese and toppings. Your cup pizza will be cooked in a matter of minutes if you microwave it for five to seven minutes.
Bread Bhurji
Savor the ideal treat for a wet day: bread bhurji! Feel the raindrops pattering down outside as you curl up inside and enjoy this easy and delicious dish of sautéed bread, spices, and vegetables. This hearty dish is bursting with flavors that are happy-making and easy to make.
Ingredients – Slices of bread (about 4–5), oil, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, red chili powder, coriander powder, diced tomatoes and onions, cumin seeds, curry leaves, grated ginger, and one slit green chili.

After the onions are softened, sauté them for two to three minutes and then add the chopped tomatoes. After cooking for a further two to three minutes, thoroughly combine the bread pieces, sugar, salt, and spices. Serve this hot dish with some coriander leaves added.
