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!
