The question of what to cook lingers on our minds day in and out. We all know the importance of healthy eating, and so we try to incorporate as much proteins in our diet as necessary. But again planning and executing both sometimes becomes hectic. We have thoughtfully curated a list of midweek meals which are not only healthy and tasty, but also easy to prepare. Besides, you don't need any other supporting dish when you make these recipes from our list. This is a big relief especially during midweeks when we are all tired but still want healthy and tasty food.
Chicken soup
A bowl of warm chicken soup never fails to impress. To make a Sour And Spicy Chicken Soup, in a wok add chicken and stir-fry along with vegetables of choice. Then add in some green chilli sauce to make it a little spicy. Mix well and stir in the chicken stock, allow it to simmer and serve piping hot, garnished with spring onion greens. This tangy, spicy and delectable chicken soup will fill your tummy and soul too.
Cashew Chicken
Next on our list is an unusual rich stir-fried cashew chicken. It is a flavorsome preparation which you can indulge in guilt free. The magic of cashews enhance the richness of the dish while you can have a one pot meal. In a wok toss large chunks of onions, capsicum, red chillies and garlic and cashew nuts, then add in the spicy cooked chicken. Serve it hot and enjoy.
Kheema Pav
Yet another popular recipe from the streets of Mumbai is the Kheema Pav. It is a robust, peppery dish that is mainly an indulgent tea time snack. This mumbai-style street food is easy to make and tastes just amazing. In a pressure cooker, add spices, tomatoes and onions, mix and cook till they turn soft and pulpy, then add mutton mince and mix well. Garnish this kheema with mint leaves and serve hot with bread slices, onion slices and lemon slices.
Egg Biryani
Who thought biryani can also have a quick and easy recipe style? This one is truly that. Fragrant basmati rice cooked with egg and spices is a famous Indian one pot meal. The fragrance of this Egg biryani or muttai biryani is so comforting that you will crave for it every day. Try it with salan and onion rings.
Lastly we have something unusual on the list- Chicken Pancakes. Make a smooth batter with some whole-wheat flour, eggs and milk, add beautifully marinated chicken and sear it. This is a simple recipe but requires some pre-preps. It tastes amazing so you must give this a try.
We hope you like and try out these easy meal ideas at home soon.
