On the days when you don’t even have the time to make a sabzi from scratch, you can make a paratha. With seasonal ingredients like methi, palak, mooli, or the go-to paneer, aloo, or gobi, you can make yourself a paratha in less than ten minutes. Just knead a dough, roll, add the filling of your choice, and cook in ghee on Usha’s infrared cooktop. Once golden brown on both sides, pair the paratha with curd and achaar for a wholesome lunch.
Dahi Tadka
Dahi tadka takes less than ten minutes to make, and you’ll still be able to pull off a hearty meal. And the best part is, you’ll only need curd and your favourite spices like cumin seeds, red chilli powder, asafetida, turmeric powder, and salt. You can quickly prepare the tempering by sauteeing the spices and ginger in oil. Then, pour it on top of the dahi, mix, and enjoy with a roti or rice.
