Spice Up Your Life With Quick Recipes



Napoleon once remarked that the easiest way to a man’s heart was through his stomach and there seems to be a grain of truth in his quote. Many people love to cook delicacies for their near and dear ones. But unfortunately, no one has time to spend hours in the kitchen. So people want to try out recipes which are less time consuming and can be prepared by people using ingredients which are easily available in the market. Food items like moong dal and gobhi paratha can be eaten throughout the year and don’t need hours to get cooked. To make sure that you can come up with delicacies within minutes for your near and dear ones you can try the following tips:-
  • Cut onions, potatoes, tomatoes and vegetables and store them in the refrigerator. This will save your time if you are in a hurry.
  • Stuff your kitchen with all types of kitchen appliances like rice cooker, mixer grinder, etc. They will save a lot of your time and effort.
  • Go for quickrecipes. Avoidthe ones which require a lot of pre-preparation. For making food items like stews and soups, you can use all types of vegetables that you have in store. Cooking the onions beforehand can add more flavor to the dish. You can use ginger garlic paste if you have to rush to your office.
  • Make tomato puree in advance, and store it in ice-cube trays. It is a common ingredient in many dishes, and by making it in advance you can make cooking easier for you.
  • Herbs like coriander and mint are easily found in local retail outlets. You can use them to garnish your food items, add them to gravies or to make chutneys.
  • If you are making chapattis or pooris, you can make the dough in advance. You can use the dough later to make delicious Indian breads to complement your dal or veg dishes.
Besides the guidelines mentioned above, you can use books authored by your favorite chefs to improve your culinary skills. Cooking is an art which you can master only with time, effort and dedication. Reading online blogs can give you useful insights and inspire you to mix and match different ingredients to come up with exciting, new recipes of your own which your near and dear ones would love to have.

Food happens to be the first love of many people. To ensure that you can come up with delicious recipes for your loved ones, you can take the help of a number of cook books written by expert chefs as well as blogs. This will help you master the art of cooking within a short span of time.
