Quarantine Gourmet: From Vegetarian Dishes to Criminal Maggi!

Welcome to my world of culinary experimentation during the quarantine period. This is where I specialized in cooking a variety of dishes, honing my skills to the point where cooking has become a form of expression and joy. During my time at home, I experimented and mastered numerous recipes, and even started my own cooking blog if you're interested in more detailed recipes.

My Journey: From Veg Pulao to Delicious Jalebis

Quarantine was a period filled with rediscovering my passion for cooking. Here are some of the dishes I prepared:

Veg Pulao:A simple yet comforting dish that never fails to warm the heart. Masala Dosa:For the South Indian food lovers, this dish is a testament to my experimentation with dosas. Matar Paneer:A delicious combination of fragrant spices and cheese, perfect for a quick and easy dinner. Pav Bhaji:The perfect comfort food, especially during these times of uncertainty. Maggi:Regardless of how bad I thought I was at it, even my first home-cooked maggi is now a beloved family favorite, made several times a week for a taste of home.

Additionally, I experimented with non-vegetarian dishes such as Chicken Dum Biryani, which turned out to be a delightful surprise, and Butter Naan with Matar Paneer, a comforting dish of garlic naan with a delicious paneer filling.

Art and Painting: A Breakthrough During Quarantine

Beyond cooking, quarantine has also served as a canvas for both my culinary and artistic expressions. Here, I share some of the creations that came as a both an artistic and a culinary venture:

Koshish ko dekhen parinam ko nhi: A classic painting phrase that truly resonates with anyone who has put in the effort to create, whether it be a dish or an artwork. Momo:With my mom's help in stuffing, I created these unique and playful momos, which turned out even tastier than I initially imagined. Cakes and Jalebis:Made by my brother before the quarantine period, but I got to enjoy them, and they were simply delicious.

These creations form a delightful mix of gastronomic and artistic endeavors, each telling a story of resilience and creativity amidst the lockdown.

Concluding Thoughts

Art, nutrition, and creativity are all intertwined in these quarantine cooking adventures. From mastering the art of maggi to experimenting with various vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, cooking has become a form of expression and joy. Whether it’s a painting or a bowl of noodles, each creation is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit during challenging times.
