Rainy season often brings with it the cravings to have something deep-fried, but comfort food does not mean it has to be unhealthy, leaving you guilty later on. These healthy monsoon snacks are filled with taste, are easy to make, and are also perfect for enjoying the season fully while eating mindfully.
Skip the fried namkeen and toss some roasted makhana with chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander, lemon juice, and chaat masala. It's a crunchy, protein-rich snack that is perfect for rainy-day cravings.
This savoury pancake is filled with protein and fibre. You can pair it with mint chutney to make a filling snack that keeps you full for a long time without being too heavy.
Swap regular potato tikki for sweet potato tikki to add more fibre and nutrients. Pan-cook this until it turns crisp and serve with homemade green chutney.
Fresh steamed corn and sprouts make for a colourful, nutrient-rich snack. Add some chopped cucumber, tomatoes, herbs, and lemon to enjoy a flavourful monsoon treat.
Mix oats with some grated vegetables and spices, then shallow-fry them until golden. These crispy cutlets deliver a healthier twist to the classic rainy-day favourite.
