Let’s agree that cooking during the summer season can be quite a task. The extreme humidity, sweat and heat of the flame sometimes become unbearable. This is why many of us prefer to avoid the crowds altogether and look for simpler alternatives. When we say simple alternatives, the first two things that come to mind are ordering food or having an instant meal. We agree that these two options don’t require any physical labor, but neither of them are tenable for the months-long summer in India. That’s why quick recipes are coming in as a better and more sustainable option for everyone. If you ask us, in the summer we always go for quick and easy recipes that will help you put together a nutritious home-cooked meal in no time. This also helps us to be so creative when we want to cut down on cooking time in our kitchen.
