Bachelors Recipes-Bachelors Cooking Indian

July 21, 2011 by PadhuSankar 25 Comments

Eating good food is essential for good health. Bachelors who have no experience of cooking or basic kitchen knowledge find it very difficult having to cook for themselves when living alone. Eating out isn’t good for the health and is also not affordable especially for students. Many recipes are in fact very simple and need only a minimum number of ingredients. A lot of the dishes share common ingredients, hence it is much cheaper and a healthier option to cook one’s own food.

Easy cooking recipes for Bachelors

      You can store the tamarind paste (pulikachal) for 15 days in the refrigerator. Vathal kulambu for 10 days in refrigerator. Make it slightly thick with more oil. Then the tomato paste for 2-3 days in the fridge. Lemon rice for 2 days.Store it in a dry container and use a dry spoon.
