Top 5 Foods To Eat In Mansoon

 During the monsoon season, it's a good idea to enjoy foods that are warm, comforting, and rich in nutrients to help boost your immunity and keep you cozy. Here are the top 5 foods to consider eating during the monsoon:


1. Soup and Stews: Warm soups and stews are perfect for rainy days. They provide comfort and warmth while also being a great way to incorporate various vegetables, proteins, and grains into your diet. Consider options like chicken noodle soup, lentil soup, or vegetable stew.


2. Pakoras and Bhajis: These deep-fried fritters are a popular monsoon snack in many cultures. You can make them using a variety of vegetables such as onions, potatoes, spinach, and cauliflower. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them a delightful treat during the rainy season.


3. Hot Beverages: Enjoying hot beverages like tea, coffee, or even spiced milk can be very soothing during the monsoon. Herbal teas like ginger tea or tulsi (holy basil) tea are known for their immune-boosting properties and can help keep seasonal illnesses at bay.


4. Grilled Corn: Corn is abundant during the monsoon and grilling or roasting corn can be a healthy and delicious way to enjoy it. Sprinkle some salt, chili powder, and a dash of lemon juice for added flavor.


5. Rice and Lentil Dishes: Comforting dishes like khichdi (a mix of rice and lentils) are not only easy to prepare but also highly nutritious. They provide a good balance of carbohydrates and proteins, making them a great option for a wholesome meal.


Remember, it's important to maintain hygiene and food safety practices during the monsoon season, as the increased moisture can lead to quicker spoilage of food. Additionally, stay hydrated by drinking clean and filtered water, even though the weather might make you less thirsty than usual.
