When it comes to monsoons, there are almost always two kinds of people. One who love the rains. And the other group, who well, hate it to the core and enjoy the downpour as long as they're indoors. I belong to the second set. And if you're one of 'em, we sure know how to enjoy this weather to the fullest indoors by creating a cosy little cocoon, curling up in a blanket and gorging on our favourite comfort food/beverage.

Here's a checklist of comfort stuff to stock up on before the monsoons sets in full swing.

And if you're a sucker for hot chocolate like me, I'd like to introduce you guys to a cool brand I've just discovered. Called Sarah's Cocoa, this lockdown baby offers an array of hot chocolate options including cinnamon, dark chocolate, coffee and more. But the flavour which steals the show is her marshmallow hot chocolate. 

So, order in a jar of this goodness and we promise your monsoon will be 10x cosier.

Nope. I don't associate this comfort food with bimaar logo ka khana! The good old khichdi never fails to win hearts in every Indian household. While today, this dish has seen an array of cool avatars and fusion recipes, the humble dal khichdi with a handful spoon of ghee and that perfect tadka has always been a fave! Considering it's monsoons and you're too comfortable to get off that bed, we're introducing you to El The Cook's ready to eat khichdi. And all it takes is 15 minutes to cook this bowl of comfort.  

Steaming Momos

It's double the fun when you make it at home. No no, we're not putting you through that effort of prepping, chopping and all.
