Rainy weather calls for warm and filling snacks. The kind you can make quickly without too much effort. Simple recipes are best. Ingredients are often already in your kitchen. If not, a quick grocery delivery will sort it out. This list covers five easy snacks you can make at home, including a samosa recipe that works for any skill level.
Why Comfort Foods Matter on Rainy Days
Rain brings cooler air and a slower pace. It’s the perfect time for comfort foods that are easy to prepare. Cooking at home means you can enjoy them fresh. With grocery delivery, there is no need to step outside in bad weather for ingredients.
1. Punjabi Samosa
A samosa is a fried snack that is crispy and has a spiced potato and pea filling. It is common in most parts and is usually served with tea.
Quick Samosa Recipe
- Boil potatoes and peas until soft.
- Roast spices such as cumin, coriander, and fennel.
- Sauté the vegetables with ginger, green chilli, and the spice mix. Add dry mango powder for tang.
- Make a firm dough with flour, ghee, carom seeds, and water.
- Roll, fill, and seal each piece before frying on medium heat until golden.
If making dough feels like too much work, order ready-made pastry sheets via grocery delivery. The flavour remains close to the traditional method.
2. Bread Pakora
This snack is made by coating bread in spiced gram flour batter and frying until crisp.
Quick Method
- Mix gram flour with chilli powder, turmeric, salt, and water.
- Dip the slices in bread and stuff them with mashed potato if you like.

Grocery delivery helps when you run out of gram flour or spices.

Instant noodles are fast but can be upgraded. Adding vegetables and spices improves taste.
Quick Method

- Finish with a dash of soy sauce or chilli oil.
Fresh vegetables can be ordered through grocery delivery if you don’t have any on hand.
4. Corn Chaat
This is a light but warming snack made from boiled corn, spices, and lemon juice.
Quick Method
