My grand-mom would make variety of items for lunch or breakfast, I use to wonder how she did so many items in short time, once she shared her secrete, She will cook many items with one pre-preparation, like - while she boiled dal for sambar she will remove some cooked dal and add hot ghee and sugar and elaichi to get a delicious dessert or starter. With the same dal, add tempering with ghee, jeera and mustard to make pappu, while making idli and chutney, grind some coconut with jaggery and elaichi to get sweet chutney along with spicy chutney, while cooking dal or vegetables remove the stock or kattu to make tasty kattu rasam. while making puri she will also prepare sweet puri along side. This way her creativity leads to prepare more than one variety.
