Let's agree, that cooking during the summer season can be quite a task. The extreme humidity, sweat and heat of the flame become unbearable at times. This is why many of us prefer avoiding the fuss altogether and looking for easier alternatives. When we say easy alternatives, the first two things that come to our mind are order in food or go for some instant meal. While we agree these two options do not need any physical labour, but none of them is sustainable for months-long summer in India. Hence, quick recipes come in as a better and more sustainable option for all. If you ask us, we always go for quick and easy recipes during the summer that can help put together a nutritious home-cooked meal in just no time.
