In today’s busy life when every single minute counts we should focus on recipes that are going to take less amount of time and let us stay away from kitchen. So wouldn’t it be a great idea to cook more than one dish from a single preparation?
Sliced ‘stir-fry’ vegetables like carrot, beans, cabbage, capsicum, cauliflower, mushrooms.
Chop some garlic and ginger, add black pepper with the stir fry vegetables and keep aside. Roll out some small flour balls and stuff in the mixture. Let them steam for 5 minutes and voila! Veg steamed dumplings are ready.
Add some seasoning, sprouted seeds, chopped onions with the stir fry vegetables and wrap them with a spring roll wrapper. This can be frozen for later, or deep fried immediately for hot spring rolls served with sauce.
Add some mayonnaise and chopped boiled egg with the stir fry vegetables and wrap with a roti or paratha. Then shallow fry these rolls for 2 minutes. Your Kathi roll is ready.
The stir fry vegetables tossed with soya sauce, finely chopped garlic,lots of green chillies, scrambled eggs, black pepper and mixed with cooked long grain rice. Here your Chinese fried rice is ready.
Put some oil in a pan and fry some sliced onions with a teaspoon of cumin. Now add onion-ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, chopped tomatoes. Fry until oil separates.
Take some amount of the fried mixture, add deep fried catla fish pieces and few deep fried potato slices, and let bubble for 2 mins. Your fish kalia is ready. You can also cook egg curry and paneer curry like that.
Take some amount of the fried mixture and add some deep fried small pieces of fish head. Now smash some boiled mung dal and add with it, bubble for 2 mins. Fish with mung dal is ready.
Take some amount of the fried mixture and add some semi fried prawns, cubed pointed gourd, fried potato cubes, and let cook for 2 mins. Your parwal chingri is ready.
Take some amount of fried mixture and add some small pieces of deep fried fish head with cubed vegetables like potato, pumpkin, beans, carrot, cauliflower, Malabar spinach (pui shaak) and cook the delicious fish head mixed curry. One of the all time favourites in a Bengali household.
Running out of noodles? No issues. Roll out a roti and cut into as thin strips as possible. Take some water in a bowl and bring it to boiling temperature, toss in those roti strips for two minutes and atta noodles are ready. Now cook like store bought noodles.
You don’t want to run to a store for a fancy dessert. Not enough expertise and time to make sweet yogurt? Don’t have enough milk for kheer? Running out of custard powder? Add four teaspoons of corn starch in warm milk and keep stirring to avoid lumps. In another vessel pour some milk and start boiling, add green cardamom powder, starched milk, sugar to taste, and stir thoroughly. When it starts to thicken turn off the heat and put into small cups. Top with more cardamom dust and nuts. Cardamom custard is ready. Same way make your own chocolate custard garnish with some choco chips, rose custard by adding a few drops of beet root extract and rose essence and garnish with some rose petals, vanilla custard from vanilla essence.
Cooking is fun. Enjoy it and utilise well the time you have inside the kitchen. Ladies and gentlemen, there is much more to see other than the view from your kitchen window.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
