The novel Coronavirus has not just got everyone panic, but has also led people wonder what all can they do to keep themselves busy during the lockdown, right? However, how strange it is that before lockdown, people wanted some free-time and did absolutely nothing. Now that our Government is requesting people to sit at home, people have actually started missing doing all the activities from their previous daily routine. I guess, now nobody is ever going to ask god for work from home or long vacations. Rather, everyone would be going to be very punctual for the schools, colleges and offices.
Since, India is on lockdown for 21 days and the best thing we could do right now is staying home (in case, you want to get spanked by the cops, step out), the best thing one could do to de-stress and refresh oneself is nothing but cooking. Yes peeps, it’s time to show-off your culinary skills to your family members. We Indians love food more than anything and it is the food that can really channelize our moods, right? This is why we have been making continuous online cake delivery to our doorsteps these days. Hence, here are some delectable dishes that you should be trying during the 21 days long lockdown. So ,let’s get started!
Red Sauce Pasta:
Correct me if I am wrong but pasta is one of those few items you hopped on as soon as you entered the grocery store after receiving lockdown news. I did! I understand, eating home-cooked food for all the meals in a day could be monotonous. That’s when pasta rolls in as our savior. Do not forget to add oreganos to enhance its taste.
Schezwan Egg Fried Rice:
This is the time when you must be getting the maximum irresistible cravings for the junk, right? From the time you open your eyes to shutting them off at night, all you do is think and eat everything available at your place. Yes, that’s how quarantine is going for most of the Indians right now. However, not getting junk is a pain that cannot be explained in words, right? Here is one such dish that might be a great substitute for a junky manchurian fried rice. Yes, this schezwan egg fried rice is not just delicious but also keeps a healthy diet intact for you. So,you better try this dish for your lunch meal today.
Pancakes:
Keeping the sugar manics in mind, pancakes is the best dessert I have come up with. I am pretty sure, you must have stocked up the jars of nutella already. Make nutella pancakes since they will help you deal with the fact that there are 19 more days to go. Oh! Let that sink in and apologies for popping the bubble for you.
Lemon Vermicelli Upma:
Is it just me who loves to add lemon to everything I have? Yes, bring this dish to the breakfast table since it is one piquant and spicy dish and is really good for your health. This dish is known to meet all your breakfast goals.
Spanish Omelette:
Loaded with the goodness of veggies and egg, make this dish in the shape of pizza to deceive the children at your home in case they are throwing tantrums at you. This dish would be loved by everyone specially kids and yes thank me later for it.
So, let’s make this lockdown a less of stressing out and more of a delicious one.
P.S- These dishes can be made using limited ingredients which is a necessity during this lockdown.
