Can simplicity gain some word?!

-Laitlum Grand Canyon, Meghalaya 2017 with my friends.

(this picture got nothing relatable here but I couldn't resist from sharing it as my fingers slipped my mind from writing to opening old folders.)

 Why is it that people always look for great innovations? Something that is new or an idea that has emerged out of an individual's mind has to be really great and convincing to almost all the classes of people of the society?

Hundreds of ideas simply fall out; just fail. Either because of the fear that the society won't approve of it Or because the idea was put forward but couldn't reach to the people who would assent it.

Look at those aspiring cooks, chefs, home cooks. Of course, there are zillions of them who cook so well, who cook for pleasure, or to satisfy someone else because satisfying a person by cooking him/her good food is yet another level of satisfaction for our own self. Well, I can confidently say that because I have been cooking as a hobby for years.😀 There are also those cooks who have great creative minds to create a recipe of their own and they do. Millions of chefs around the world satisfying people out there through their great experiments.

COOKING: A CRAFTSMANSHIP, AN ART, A PASSION, A DIVINE BLISS.😇 ...and a blessing to everyone on this planet!

A thought simply passed by my mind this evening while I was back home from work. I don't know about each and every person out there on earth, but is it necessary that if you wish to share your cooking skills outside your little kitchen with anybody else whether you know them or not; then it has to be something cosmopolitan or trailblazing? Or does it need to be as much urbane that people actually look out for you or your skills?

Actually, the answer I have been looking forward to the question is that-

Whenever we feel like to eat something exotic or have an authentic cuisine, we either move out to have a feast or somebody cooks for us at home or some even cook themselves at times. There are also times when we don't want to make that unwanted hole in our pockets but at the same time don't want to compromise with our cravings too. So, what do we do? Can we always depend on somebody? Where are we foodies supposed to go! We are tired most of the time because of the work stress being pushed upon us every other day. Everything else can be postponed but hunger can never be!

I personally have experienced a lot of situations and moods when it comes to cooking and food cravings.

Say-

• Today I'm tired and I don't really have the energy to cook.
• Oh! I'm not in a working mood, don't really feel like cooking anything.
• Angry with someone. I would rather remain inside the room. But, I'm hungry too.
• I'm getting late for work and I need to cook something fast and filling.
• The morning is energetic today, I shall spend my time in reading books and do some yoga. And I'll need food after that.
• I'm in my periods and my mom-in-law won't let me get inside the kitchen. I shall cook something at night when she is asleep and it has to be fast before she wakes up from the sound of utensils.😋
• Guests are turning up today and I'm having a severe headache/ too much work on my to-do list for the day already.
• I feel poorly and deficient today. Need something light for my stomach.
• Someone in the family is unwell. Maybe I won't be able to make much time to look after them but healthy food is what I can serve.
• Had a heavy snack at the corner there in the town. Need a light meal for dinner.
• For those who have kids, they very well know the necessity of healthy food. (I have no plans to have kids till the furthest I can look into my future)

Well yes! You get that right.😌 A moody and inconstant kind of a person I am.

But that is another level of adventure for me. It makes me do a lot of different activities to keep myself joyful or diverted. Not always. Even I go through oversets at times. But this moody-foodie never fails to delight her little stomach as it looks from the outside (there must be a reservoir inside).

Can simplicity gain some word?!!

Alright. So let us gain some word for the simplicity that I truly adore!

Food is a thing which we Always have and have it 2-3 times a day. Does it matter if we try new ways of eating and cooking sometimes during our regular lives? I guess not at all. In fact, it is like a short break from the normal boring lifestyle. A tiny refreshment. 

Why not take the ride towards a much simpler life with me by trying out the regular food we have in a simpler, healthier, and faster way?!!         

What different can you find in my recipes?

- Zero compromise with the health

- Relishing taste

- Filling food

- Not so beautiful and enchanting pictures because that makes the food cold and is a compromise with the taste 😟

- Time saver methods

- Easily available ingredients

- Less oil & masala; more nutrients (trust me that doesn't hamper the taste of the food at all)

- Least or zero wastage

- Leftovers converted into an all-new dish

- Every sentence and list has an end.

I will keep sharing my recipes- experimented, tried, and tasted. Try it out and train the kids and men at your home too. Because I remember my mother had advised me several times when I was young that never be dependent on others for anything! When it comes to feeding yourself, all I've got to say is-

 Even if you are unable to be financially independent because of any unavoidable reason, at least learn how to cook and feed yourself. Being an individual, only we are responsible for our health and well-being. And, it's solely in our hands whether to sprout like a moong or curl like uncared coriander!

Dear-me. I shall not touch the philosophy chapter now. I'm hungry and planning to watch a movie with my husband who must have slept. Lazy man.

It's a good food night and we shall cook something clever.

Catch the recipe in my upcoming posts!

Bella ciao!
