Okay folks, its summer time and hunger pangs in all directions from urges to the holy tummy 
I’m wondering what is out there for desi foods that is eatable and cool other than rice???
During summer the appetite usually decreases because hot food is not consumed as much for the reason that its hot!
Come one, come all, gimme ideas i’m starved . . .

are you looking for just desi stuff or anything to fill the tummy will do? are you looking for complete meal..or snacks and appetizers?
The only thing I can think of right now is cold salads made with pasta and/or cooked meat. And sandwiches but I'm guessing you want something more 'substantial'.

Sattu (Roasted Gram flour) Drink
Mix Sattu with water, Salt and Lemon Juice and your drink is ready.
I don't know someone mentioned it before or not but don't drink hot water during summer. Drink cold water instead.
Sattu taste even better with sugar n water

i dunno about your preferences ...i mean what you like in terms of food

then we used to have kadu ka raita , kheeray ka raita , aloo ka raita , baingan ka bhartya with dehi ....you see a lot of dehi
and a lot of salad too .....sometimes things like fruit chaat
