Difficult time doesn’t stay but we can learn a lot from this. Tomatoes are so expensive but this is the starting, we do not know what we will have in future and what we won’t. So get ready for bad times too…
I started to think about smart cooking so today, I made green biryani with minimum green masala (home grown mint and coriander) leftover spring onion bulb which have been sitting in my fridge from so long… and few green chilies with ginger and garlic cloves. Weather is not too hot, try to plant few necessary vegetables in you kitchen garden. It will help you in bad times.
