I would like to know a few cooking tricks for those with lack of time 
some things which might help me make desi lunch in about 30 minutes.
I remeber seeing a thread here a while ago which was similar but cant find the link:bummer:
Re: quick cooking tips
Get boneless chicken .. it cooks really really quick ... and you can make it in so many different ways ....
you can boil potatoes and make potato bujia ..
you can get caned white channa's and can cook them in basic masala.. they too make a wonderful lunch specially with pita bread..
It starts from Grocery
always label the meat you are buying. Always Freeze it after cleaning and washing. This is very important and saves lot of time when in a hurry
make small packs of meat enough for one time cooking
dont waste time defrosting, throw the meet in daighchee and galooo it first. It will defrost it anyway
boneless chicken is MUST have in the freezer
freeze the cubes of ginger garlic paste (use cubes tray). Its quick, all you have to do is get a cube and throw in the daigchee
always keep tomato paste canes stored.
get a pack of fried onion. dont use it in daily cooking but just when you are in a hurry and there is no time to cut and fry onion.
If you are cooking meet, try to make "boti" as small as you can. small botis tenfder faster.
try to multi-task. So if you are bhoning the gosht, you can cook the rice in parallel.
