Now I am full on meal planning. However till now I haven't frozen complete meals. Both me and my husband grew up at households where food is enjoyed with passion. So its been hard for us to imagine fully frozen meals. My Mother in law meal prep's, podi's like Jeera rasam, pepper kuzhambhu, vara podi. She will have coconut shredded and tamarind pulp ready for the week in the refrigerator. Things that saves precious minutes during the busy weekday mornings. I went one step further. I try to make a plan, freeze veggies, freeze base mix (like for kootu, aviyal, gravy), almost ready to eat. With hacks and tips like this I easily reduce 50% to 60% of standing time in the kitchen. Disclaimer - Any frozen food should be properly stored and re used for proper health. I am sharing a routine that works for me.
