Bachelor Cooking

When you're a young Indian male living alone like I do, what would you do for food? Well, let's rub out that "eating out" option because, err.. you live in the corner of Delhi (a place where you’d rather be born with wheels instead of legs) and don't have a motorbike.

Well? what WOULD you do for food?

Let's take a few considerations at first. We all come tired and exhausted from work, and cooking is the last thing we want to do. All we want is do something for our stomach before switching to horizontal mode.

Of course, maggie is the first option. I don't want to spend time on it, as there are many other blogs and websites dealing with the same topic. I of course have an approx of 25 maggie recipies that I would give only on request, some involving rare peppers from the mountains of Nagaland.

Maggie cannot be consumed everyday, simply because you'll start looking like a junkie sooner than later.

The food should be designed to be extremely easy to cook (cooking time less than 15min (30 min if you haven't cut an onion in your life before) least amount of dishes to wash, and is nutritious all the same. It won't taste horrible, as long as you put in enough salt in it, but you'd rather not compare it with your mom's beef biriyani.

The next post in this section would deal with effective veggie chopping styles and the basic things you'd need for this kind of cooking.

Overcooked and undercooked? Hmm... Haven't actually got into trouble with that yet... The preparation for my food is too simple for such complications. You also should realize the taste of the food also takes a big hit...
