I have TWINS. one of them is a “6 seconds for everything” son and All time smiles and giggles contest Winner Daughter and we live in USA. Working class who is bringing a bill in the senate to increase a days time from 24 to 32 hours.

Here is another one I experimented yesterday and got a hit.
2 lbs Flank Steak > First, with a shrp knife cut horizontal and paralel of the steak to get 2 equal flat sections. Then cut into small thin fries shape pieces about 1 inch in length. Julian as thin as possible . it helps tenderize the meat fast.
add 4 tbsp oil
2 tsp ginger
1 tbsp garlic > fry a little
steak pieces > fry for 2 minutes
1 tbsp Zeera Powder
1 tbsp Crushed Red Peper
1 cup tomatto sauce ( not ketchup and not paste )
3/4 tsp garam masala
1/2 cup yogurt
Cover and cook for 25 minutes on low/med heat till meat is very tender. Last 5 minutes on high heat dry the liquid as much as possible.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro and enjoy with Naan.
chicken karahi and chicken stew are quick and good meals to make in 30 minutes.
A lot of veggie dishes and daal dishes take around 30 minutes too. Bhindi ki bhujia is quick. Daal/chawal is quick too.
