If we go little northward from Kerala, Maharashtrians have their own fast food in Monsoon. They have lip-smacking Vadapao along with hot cup of tea. Vadapao is Indian version of burger. They put an aaloovada or Potato Fritters in between a pao(bread bun). This dish is served with garlic chutney traditionally. The vada is a hot and flavored with spiciness of garlic, ginger and green chilies, coated in besan(gram flour) and deep fried.

Another Monsoon fast-food for Maharashtrian is “Kanda-Bhajji”. On rainy day, Kanda bhajjis become more enjoyable from a roadside Tapri(stall) along with Hot Tea (Ofcourse!). They make the bhajjis in quite different way, compare to other parts of India, by simply adding cardamom into the besan.
