After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21 days lockdown to curb the spread of deadly coronavirus outbreak, a lot of people were left with limited items in their homes. A lot of Indians had already piled up basic items ahead of the restrictions people were still left with a limited set of things to use. With a lot of people confused what to cook during the lockdown, an Indian food blogger Monika Manchanda stepped in and posted a question on her Twitter handle, “Tell me what you have in your pantry & I’ll suggest a dish/meal to help you out for the next 21 days.”

been doing this in Instagram for 3 days and people are saying it is of great help. Hope the same here. My little contribution #21daysLockdown #cookingTogetherAtHome
Within moments, several people took to this new take on quarantine cooking and responded with their pantry items and Manchanda helped them out. She explained how to utilise simple rice to Mexican burito bowls. She also helped one user how to make asian stir fry from just spring onions. She also shared many recipes on her Instagram of simple few-step meals to cook with limited ingredients.
I am assuming you don’t want the many variety rices we have.

They make a great burrito bowl (easy too. Boiled corn, beans, chopped veggies, salsa , olive oil mixed together). Teens might love

Spring onion and aloo sabji is delicious. Just like aloo methi. Or spring onion paranthas. Or make an asian style stir fry with loads of it

Also Achari gobhi ki sabi turns out fabulous (use masala of any achar at home and cook like a normal sabji)
Chickpeas, Rajma and lobia kinds make great filling salads. Loads on the blog. https://t.co/WxQ3fyCyH9
