Monsoon Meals that Taste Better with a Spoonful of Butter Spread

The drumming rain on rooftops, that earthy petrichor rising from sun-starved soil, monsoon in India isn’t just weather; it’s a season that rewrites our cravings. We dream of sizzling bhajiyas straight from the kadhai, corn cobs charred over coals, and khichdi steaming up kitchen windows.  That’s when butter spread becomes your kitchen’s unsung hero, transforming delicious monsoon staples  into soul-warming triumphs.

Butter-Spread Magic: Elevating Monsoon Classics

1. Tapri-Style Masala Corn

A rainy day is the best time for some delicious bhutta! As the rain taps against your kitchen window, grill some golden corn, slather it generously with grilled corn butter while it’s piping hot. Mix butter spread with roasted cumin, tangy chaat masala, a pinch of Kashmiri chili, and lime juice. The heat melts it into every nook, creating a spicy-tangy armor that laughs at humidity. You’ll taste the street vendor magic without stepping out.

Ingredients: Fresh corn cobs, Nutralite butter spread, chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, lime wedges

2. Kanda Pakoda is Perfect for Mumbai Monsoons

Monsoon’s iconic fritters often turn limp in damp air. Here’s the trick: melt 2 tbsp butter spread and whisk it into your besan batter (besan, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, ajwain seeds, water) before dipping onion slices. As they hit hot oil, the spread creates tiny air pockets, yielding pakodas that stay shatter-crisp for hours. Perfect with masala chai as rain streaks down windows.

Ingredients: Besan, rice flour, thinly sliced onions, ajwain, turmeric, red chili powder, water, Nutralite doodhshakti probiotic butter spread

3. Soft and Comforting Garlic Khichdi Makes You Feel Warm Inside

Khichdi turns luxurious when you stir in garlic-infused butter spread just before serving. Sauté minced garlic in 1 tbsp spread until golden, then swirl it into steaming moong dal-rice khichdi. The grains absorb the rich emulsion, becoming creamy without heaviness. Top with ghee-tempered cumin for aroma that cuts through monsoon gloom.

Ingredients: Rice, moong dal, ginger, garlic cloves, turmeric, cumin seeds, ghee, Nutralite butter spread

4. Soothing Tamarind Rasam For Cold Monsoon Days

When rains kill appetites, this probiotic twist reignites them. After boiling tamarind pulp with tomatoes and rasam powder, turn off the heat. Whisk in 1 tbsp probiotic butter spread, it emulsifies the broth, smoothing tamarind’s sharpness while letting ginger and pepper shine. The warmth settles your stomach as rain lashes outside.

5. Garlic Butter Mushrooms (15-Minute Rainy Snack)

Sauté button mushrooms in ginger-garlic paste until they release juices. Then, toss in butter spread blended with soy sauce and crushed pepper. The sauce clings like a glossy raincoat, turning earthy mushrooms into umami bombs. Finish with fresh coriander. Ideal for unexpected rainy evenings when hunger strikes.

The Heart of Monsoon Cooking

Butter spread weaves deeper than flavour, it stitches memories. That corn cob dripping with spiced grilled corn butter? It’s childhood monsoons relived. The khichdi swirling with golden garlic infusion? It’s grandma’s wisdom in a bowl. When skies weep grey, these small gestures turn meals into anchors of joy. Because in India, rain isn’t just weather; it’s a call to gather, share, and savour comfort that starts in the kitchen.
