Shortocuts in the kitchen

Tweet

Getting domestic help here in India has become rare unlike in the good old days when I hardly got into the kitchen. But now it is a different story. I spend a lot of time there with just a little help. . I have resorted to shortcuts in the cooking arena in that our maid will grind masalas of different types that I keep them in the deep freeze and this will last for over a month. Then there are recipes that hardly take any time without compromising on quality and taste. My instant chicken is one example. I just cut the chicken into large chunks and fry the pieces in ghee garnish (fried onion slices) till liquid oozes out. Add chopped onions and tomatoes - a good quantity. Cook on slow fire. Add, salt spices, pepper powder and garnish with deep fried potato slices. I cook a substantial quantity so that it can be eaten at different days in the week. Eat with cooked rice and some salad. How do you manage without help.
