Kiwi Thepla Wraps
Monsoons in India are more than just a weather pattern—they’re a feeling. From the mist-covered hills of Himachal to the bustling city balconies, every region has its own beloved rainy-day dish. This season, why not give those comfort foods a refreshing twist with the tangy zing of kiwifruit?

Himachal’s Siddu with Kiwi Chutney
Siddu, a steamed wheat flour bread stuffed with lentils or walnuts, is a mountain favourite. Pair it with a spicy-sweet kiwi chutney blended with green chillies, coriander, and a dash of jaggery for a burst of flavour that cuts through the richness.
Pakode with Kiwi Mint Dip
Across India, monsoon cravings begin and end with pakoras. Whether it’s potato, onion, or spinach, make them pop with a creamy kiwi-mint yogurt dip. The fruit’s natural acidity balances out the fried indulgence beautifully.
Kiwi Thepla Wraps
Give your Gujarati theplas a monsoon makeover. Add grated kiwi into the dough for a subtle tang, or better yet, roll them up with a spicy kiwi salsa and paneer filling. It’s travel-friendly, tangy, and totally unexpected.
Kiwi Bhutta Chaat
Roasted corn is a rainy-day staple. Top it with chopped kiwis, chaat masala, lemon, and chili powder for a sweet-spicy-tangy burst in every bite.
Incorporating kiwifruit into regional monsoon recipes not only adds zing, but also boosts your immune system—a bonus during the sniffle-prone season. From the hills of Himachal to homes across India, let kiwifruit turn your rainy day into a refreshing surprise.
