Maggi is quick to make, is open to customization, and never fails to delight you. You can have an all veggie maggi, or you can go for a chicken maggi, or the fried maggi, or perhaps the good old ‘default’ maggi. There are just so many ways to cook your maggi!
Samosas
Oh, the sinful, mouth-watering, tempting samosas. How can anyone resist this Indian snack? And if it's a rainy day, it is an icing on the cake indeed.

Pakodas

You can either prepare Pakodas at home or you can go out and buy some for yourself. They go perfectly with both hot and cold drinks.
Bhutta
Roasted Bhutta is symbolic of rain and vice versa. The roasted version laced with lime and masala is a must eat on a rainy day. There’s also the boiled version with butter, salt, and other seasonings. But it must be accepted that the roadside Bhutta roasted in a make-do coal oven wins every single time.
