WADA CALLING

Hot and deep fried, wada pav, mirchi and bhajiyas are the monsoon star players and always draw hundreds of people to take big bites and watch the steam disappear into the rainy evening sky.

CHILLY AND LIME

The rains bring the corn-men (pun intended) out from hiding. Fresh off the coal, coated in chili powder and drizzled with lime juice, your mouth has already started watering, hasn't it?

WOOD-FIRED GOODNESS

Wood-fired pizzas are the new trend for all the right reasons. A crispy toasted exterior and a mouthful of delicious toppings, while the rains pour - name a better combo, we'll wait.

WHILE IT POURS
