There’s a kind of silence that only comes before the first drop. The sky turns soft grey, the breeze feels cooler, and suddenly—someone from the group shouts, “Aai ja niche… mast varsad pade che” And just like that, it begins.

You don’t check notifications. You look for the key for the scooty for the “triple savari” ride.

The plan is simple—no plan. Just ride out. Wherever the rain pulls, you go. You end up near a chai laari, drenched, hungry, and laughing with a vada pav in one hand and soggy tissues in the other. That’s the joy you don’t click a photo of—but it stays with you.

This blog is for that version of you. The one who craves something warm when the sky gets cold. Here’s the monsoon food trail you want to bookmark for the rainy days.

The Ultimate Monsoon Snack List In Gujarat

Chai + Muskabun

There’s chai. And then there’s chai when it’s raining. The steam fogs up your glasses, your hands wrap tighter around the cup, and the muskabun—soft and butter-loaded. It’s a combo that needs no intro.

Gulab Jamun

Soft, soaked in chasni, and served hot—gulab jamuns are monsoon’s sweet reward. You’re standing in light rain, holding the bowl warm in your palm, forgetting the day behind. One bite in, and everything feels a little more okay.

Snacks That Find You on the streets

Some snacks aren’t planned—they just happen. Like Maggie and Bhutta during a long ride, found near colleges or roadside laaris. Then comes bhungda bateta—spicy. And khichu? Steamed, soft, topped with chilli oil. These are the bites you don’t post but remember. The kind that turn a simple drive into something worth repeating.

Some Go Out, Some Stay In – Comfort food at home

If you are the kind of person who doesn’t want to go out on the streets to stall. And want to enjoy the rain at home by just sitting near the window, sipping on hot chai, and watching the rain. At that moment, all you need is the right Farsan.

Whether it’s fresh namkeen, khatta meetha mix, or just crispy ganthiya—something crunchy with something warm never disappoints.
