Tips for Happy week days!

Most of us will be gloomy on Sunday night thinking about the next 5 LONG weekdays. Being a wife/home maker your resposibility is doubled when it comes to prepare food during early mornings. There are some things that we can do during the week ends/ free time so as to reduce the  horse-race on a week day morning.

Things to do during weekend:
1. Check your refrigerator for the available veggies/meat/fish
2. Plan the dishes that you are going to prepare for the weekdays
3. If you need to buy some veggies/groceries/meat/fish do the shopping. So that you have enough raw materials in your storage to start with.
4. Check your storage and see if the spice-powders, chilly powder, turmeric powder, corriander powder, salt, masalas etc are in stock.
 5. Check your storage for things like potatoes, onions and daals.

If you can spend  1 or 2 hours during the weekend for chopping/cooking some of the things required for the weeks dishes, it makes your week days easier. That is the magic!

Here are some of the things which I found useful:

1. Peel and chop some garlic. Refrigerate.
2.  Peel and chop required big onions. Refrigerate
3. Peel and chop required small onions. Refrigerate
4. Slice and refrigerate required green chillies
5. Clean and chop required ginger.
6. Chop and refrigerate veggies like beans, cabbage. If possible cook the veggies with some salt and keep it for the weekday. So you can take the needed veggie, mix it and make the curry quickly and freshly!
7. Peel and keep some carrots ready
8. Soak and cook any two daals(Black channa, white channa, thoor daal, rajma, moong daal etc )with salt and refrigerate.
9. Make some dosa/idli batter and keep.
10. Boil and keep 2,3 potatoes ready.
