Rainy days bring out the foodie in all of us. There’s something about the sound of raindrops on the window and the scent of wet earth that makes you crave crispy, hot, and spicy Indian snacks. Whether it's a quick bite with chai or an elaborate treat for the family, monsoon is the perfect excuse to indulge.
In this blog, let’s explore some popular Indian snacks for rain, how to make them easily at home, and why choosing the right cookware—especially Triply cookware—makes all the difference.

🥔 1. Pakoras – The Ultimate Monsoon Snack
When it comes to rainy days, pakoras top the list. Made from sliced vegetables like onions, potatoes, or spinach, dipped in besan (gram flour) batter, and deep-fried to golden perfection, pakoras are comforting and addictive.
Pro Tip: For crispy pakoras, use a Triply Kadai. The Triply construction ensures even heat distribution and avoids burning your oil or batter.
Why Triply? Unlike ordinary aluminium or non-stick utensils, Triply cookware is made of three bonded layers – stainless steel (inner), aluminium (core), and stainless steel (outer). This not only cooks food evenly but also keeps it healthier and non-reactive, especially when deep-frying or using spices.
☕ 2. Masala Chai – Sip of Warmth
A plate of pakoras is incomplete without a cup of masala chai. Boiled with fresh ginger, cardamom, and sometimes tulsi or cinnamon, chai is like a warm hug on a rainy day.
Use a Triply Saucepan for boiling your tea. It’s easy to clean, handles high heat well, and doesn’t retain the strong flavors or stains that regular pans do.
🍜 3. Spicy Masala Maggi
Monsoon evenings and Maggi noodles are a match made in heaven. Whether you like it classic or add your twist with cheese, vegetables, or peri-peri masala, it’s a quick and cozy fix.
Cook your noodles in a Triply Frypan to prevent sticking and uneven cooking. Thanks to its superior surface, it allows you to sauté vegetables and boil noodles all in one go.
🌽 4. Bhutta – Roasted Corn with Masala
Roasted corn on the cob or bhutta, rubbed with lemon, salt, and red chili powder, is a street-side favorite that feels just right during a drizzle. If roasting on open flame isn’t possible, you can grill it on a Triply Tawa at home.
🧆 5. Aloo Tikki – Crispy Outside, Soft Inside
Mashed potatoes, peas, and spices shaped into patties and shallow-fried make for delicious aloo tikkis. Serve with mint chutney or sweet tamarind sauce for the full experience.
Use a Triply Wok or Triply Frypan for frying. The high walls prevent splattering, and the stainless steel surface maintains crispiness without absorbing oil.
🍲 6. Poha – Light, Fluffy & Filling
Another comforting favorite for monsoon mornings is Poha—flattened rice cooked with onions, green chilies, mustard seeds, and a sprinkle of lemon juice. It's light on the stomach but still warm and filling—just what you need while watching the rain from your balcony.
Use a Triply Frypan or Triply Wok to cook poha, especially when sautéing onions and tempering spices. The even heat ensures nothing burns or sticks, keeping your poha perfectly fluffy.
🫓 7. Stuffed Parathas with Curd or Pickle
Rainy days also call for hot, stuffed parathas—whether it's aloo, paneer, or gobi. Crisp on the outside and soft inside, they pair beautifully with curd or mango pickle for that satisfying desi bite.
A Triply Tawa is ideal for getting that golden, evenly roasted finish. Unlike non-stick, it doesn’t wear out with frequent high-heat cooking, making it perfect for daily paratha lovers.
🍝 8. Vegetable Upma – South Indian Comfort
For those who prefer South Indian flavors, Upma made with semolina (suji), tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and loaded with veggies is a nourishing rainy day choice. It’s quick, customizable, and warm enough to keep the chill at bay.
Cooking upma in a Triply Saucepan offers better control over roasting the suji and sautéing vegetables, ensuring a fluffy, non-lumpy texture without overheating any part of the pan.
