Owing to time constraints and lack of kitchen facilities, people staying at hostels seem to be on a perennial quest for easy recipes for hostel cooking.

Hostellers (usually students or working women/men) are a usually a busy lot, and cooking takes a back seat – they would rather be doing something else interesting than try cooking stuff that takes long or too many ingredients.

There is also a lack of good kitchen facilities in most hostels – and the cooking might necessarily have to be done on a solitary hotplate or some such gadget. Cooking takes a back seat in their priority list and they find themselves hunting for quick and easy recipes that are filling and satisfying.

Here are some interesting meals that use easy, quick, and yet tasty recipes for hostel cooking, that I have collated for my comrades putting up at hostels to make their life less burdensome and tiring. Taste and quality has not sacrificed while preparing the list.
