Short on time but still want ghar ka khana? These are my go-to recipes for busy days: snacks, sweets and meals ready in about 30 minutes, made with ingredients you already have at home.
Most of them start with pantry basics like besan, rice flour, til, gud and everyday masalas. You don’t need any special equipment, only a kadhai, a pan and a mixer.
Start with these three:
- Restaurant Style Crispy Corn: crispy, masaledar and quick. A hit at every party or Sunday evening.
- Crispy Palak Pakoda: spinach, onion and potato fritters that stay crisp even after they cool. Perfect with chai.
- Til Gud Chikki: just til, gud and ghee, ready in about 15 minutes. Soft, crumbly and easy on the teeth.
Every recipe has a video, clear steps and the small tips that make it work the first time.
