For example, for me, there are days I want to eat the spiciest food out there , but since it takes nothing less then at least 15 minutes to get a proper spicy meal together. I just chop up some green chilli and mix it in lemon juice, and either eat it with a small boiled potato or with omelette !
CB, I’m also a spice lover these days (though I’ve a mouth full of sweet teeth at the same time ), I normally chop up a tomato with hot green chillies and stir fry it on high heat for 3-4 minutes, adding salt to it. It’s scrumptious!!!
I always have cravings for time taking meals like Haleem, Nihari and gajjar ka halwa and then for these I have no quick fixing except to cook. Haleem quick fix is the Packet haleem but nothing for other 2. If i crave for any fried thing i just fry french fries. And yes there is no quick fix for biryani too :(
