The rainy season here in Hyderabad, is in full swing since last
two days. It has been raining incessantly since yesterday afternoon. And on
such wet, windy days, nothing warms your hearts and your bellies better than
hot and spicy snacks and meals. Every home has its own Rainy Day Specials, coming
out of their kitchens. The list of
popular Monsoon snacks is very long…Pakodi-Onion/Palak, Samosas, Bhajjis-Plain/Mirchi/Alu/Onion,
Cutlets–Alu/Mixed vegetable, all these with a variety of Chutneys, Hot Puri
with Curry of your choice, Barbecued corn on the cob and this list goes on and
on with even foods like Grilled sandwiches, Pasta and Noodles and of course hot
drinks like Tea, Coffee and a variety of Soups.
I have written few articles on popular Monsoon foods of our
house and of some exotic foods we prepare during Rains and posted the details
with photographs on my blog – Raghu's column! Followers of my blog are aware of this. Today evening it was
another Rainy Day Special!
Today’s evening meal was a very colorful and delicious
preparation. Everyone relished it. It was Steamed Vegetables with Garlic-Chili flakes-Lime
Juice-grated Lime zest–Butter. The list of colorful vegetables goes as follows…Cauliflower,
Broccoli, Baby Corn, Carrots, Baby Potatoes, Mushrooms and Green, Red and

us loved every vegetable and every bit of it!
