#covid19#lockdown#cooking with available ingredients ❤️

Tasty Side dishes with minimum ingredients 
With few ingredients two side dishes for lunch. Veggies are mainly from our homestead like spinach, taro, drumstick, mango, bilimbi&banana.
Our refrigerator after taking out the veggies for cooking 
What we buy are beans, carrots, onion, tomatoes, potato and garlic. In the refrigerator a few vegetables left which were a carrot, twelve beans, tomato and drumstick. Thought to finish and then only buy new. There is no hard and fast rules in selecting the ingredients for cooking when it is lockdown. Today proved that some times simple is the best. It is nice to experience that you can make tasty dishes with a positive mindset. It is not a deal. It’s your outlook. 
Carrot beans stir fry 
Carrot 1, beans 12, shallots 2, garlic cloves 2, all chopped. Cooked the veggies in a bowl on medium flame and set aside. 
Grated coconut 1/2 cup, turmeric powder 1/3tsp., salt to taste. 
Heat coconut oil in a shallow pan, splutter mustard seeds and dried red chilli, add turmeric powder, salt, grated coconut and cooked veggies. Combine well and leave for two minutes. When the moisture is absorbed completely the dish is done ✅ 
Drumstick in fried coconut paste 
Drumstick 2, peeled and sliced, bilimbi 5, shallots 6, tomato 1, all three thinly sliced. Turmeric powder a pinch, chilli powder 2tsp., coriander powder 1 tsp., fried coconut powder 3tbsp., salt to taste. Cook the ingredients in enough water.
Garnish the mix with mustard seeds and red chilli in coconut oil as above.
