Weekly Planner

Cooking food needs lots of planning - As much as cooking at home is fun, it also needs meticulous planning. Having said that, we need to plan ahead and have stuff in the fridge which will assist in cooking.

Lets look at how can we make life easy with these tips.



Roti Dough

Chapati is a daily requirement in almost all homes, hence have the roti dough well in advance and refrigerate it. The dough remains fresh if kept in fridge for 2-3 days. You can take the required quantity and store the rest. This dough can be used for making parathas, puris, chapatis. Always cover and store the leftover dough in the fridge properly.

Ready Chutney's

Most of our breakfast require a side dish to complete the recipe like  idli, dosa paratha etc. When time is a constraint a ready made chutney is a boon. We can prepare thokku, chutney ,pickles and chutney powder, and use it. These chutney's can also be used to make sandwiches and parathas. These chutneys can be stored for 3-5 days in the fridge. The chutney powder can be stored in air tight container for almost a month. Ketchups and sauces can be made and stored accordingly.

Easy breakfast ideas

Menu Planner

Always make a weekly menu timetable depending on your family's tastes and preferences. Once decided get the required vegetables from the market and stock up the fridge. You can order groceries once a month from the grocery list and store accordingly. You can choose various recipe ideas from Recipe Index

Vegetables

Once you bring the vegetables for your weekly requirement, sort and clean it. Certain vegetables can be diced or chopped and used. The chillies can be stored without the stem. The coriander, pudina and curry leaves can be neatly plucked and stored in Ziploc bags or fridge boxes. Beans can also be removed from its stem and kept ready for chopping. Peas, corn etc are available as frozen which can be brought and stored in fridge, its a great help. If you get fresh peas, lima beans, deseed them and store these in fridge.
