Nithya's Nalabagam : 30 Mins Recipes

Time Saving Tips:

Cleaning and chopping vegetables is time consuming. I usually do the whole package during weekends after the grocery shopping when the vegetables are fresh. Clean the coriander leaves, mint and curry leaves before storing in the refrigerator.Freeze portions in sealed plastic bags or containers. I especially like to use frozen peas and frozen shredded coconut.
Planning is more important in time saving. Plan meals for the upcoming week and add the required ingredients to the grocery list. Some of the dry ingredients used in our cooking can be stored for long time. For perishables items I do the grocery shopping once a week.
Double the recipes and freeze the extra for those days when there is no time to cook. But always remember not all the things can be frozen.
Use time-saving appliances like a rice cooker, blender, food processor, food chopper, pressure cooker when possible. Pressure cooker reduces time and fuel especially when cooking pulses.

Below is a list compiled of easy and quick recipes. All the below recipes will be ready in 30 mins or less. If you like my recipes stay connected through google+ or facebook or twitter. To get the latest updates and recipes in mail, subscribe to Nithya's Nalabagam
