Minimalist Recipes for Lockdown

I write this sitting in India, living through a lockdown to combat COVID-19. In these tough times, when kitchen essentials are in short supply, I am turning to comforting, minimalist recipes.

Ingredients with a long shelf life.

Recipes that skip a key item or two.

Ghee and rice.

Dishes that are quick to put together on work-from-home weekdays.


Sharing a round-up of such minimalist recipes from The Steaming Pot archives. I hope they help you through the quarantine / lockdown in your area, wherever you are. Stay healthy, stay safe, dear reader.
