    Hmm, I always have something in stock, because I fall into such situation not only for an unexpected guest, but with my kids itself.. Sometimes, I will be lazy or end up waking along with the kids. I won't have time to cook a full meal with kids around. So, I have the following things ready at home, when I don't feel like cooking or when I am running short of time, just to prevent from going outside to eat.

    Instant Rava Idly (MTR Instant Rava Idly Mix, turns out very well, soft too), served with Ghee or Yogurt
    Macroni and Cheese (prepares in 5 minutes)
    Maggi Noodles (5 minutes)
    Bread and Mixed Fruit Jam, Butter (5 minutes or when we are in a hurry to go out)
    Bread and Amul Cheese (Grilled Sandwich) with a cup of Tang Orange Juice (have Tang Powder at home)
    Idly Batter or Dosa Batter (either one of them will be in the fridge for sure)
    Avocadoes with Yogurt (My daughter loves it and its very filling too)
    Bread with Tomato Onion Salsa (I always have Salsa at home, because when I don't have anything to eat, I eat the bread or leftover roti with salsa , as it is of very less calories)
    Oats Porridge with Milk and dry fruits and nuts or Oats porridge with plenty of yogurt
    Cheese Quesdilla (store bought roti with cheese) with Tomato Salsa (store bought)
    Ghee Dosa
    Yogurt Rice garnished with seasonings, nuts and raisins.
    Egg Omlette
    Peas Pulav or Jeera Rice in Rice Cooker (Prepared with Frozen Peas)


    Basically, I stock the following in my Kitchen (for lazy days).

    MTR Instant Rava Idly Mix
    Macaroni and Cheese
    Maggi Noodles
    Kissan Mixed Fruit Jam
    Amul Butter
    Tomato Ketchup
    Wheat Bread Packet
    Idly Batter or Dosa Batter
    Salsa (ready made)
    Avocadoes (5 to 6 in the fridge)
    Hummus (in the fridge, its for me)
    Oats
    Eggs
    Frozen Peas
    Bread
    Shredded Cheese

    Kamla / knbg!!!

    I am honoured, flattered and ecstatic !!!! :cheers

    I've never had anyone nominate me before [​IMG]

    Thank you thank you very very much :yes:


    Kamla, thats why I started this post... I stock a few ready stuff and whenever I have time, I prepare the stuff that takes too long, but if kept in fridge, final item is ready in minutes :)

    like, right now, I have long green chillis stuffed with peanut/til/ajwain masala in the fridge - because it is weekend - if someone drops in, all I have to do is roast in tawa for 2 minutes on either side :) and hot stuffed chilli ready for snacks or with rice !!!
    If no guest comes, we as a family can finish it in 2 or 3 days :)




    Thanx Rihana,

    Even I thought about making this a sticky thread, because it will remain as a reference :) maybe the induslady or moderators will answer !!!

    Dear Hrastro sister,

    Yes the flour is readily available always, it comes handy anytime, even if we land up late night after a long trip, my Dh is satisfied with Idiyappam and Sugar...

    Simple isnt it? Thanks for the thread...
