Easy to Cook Home Recipes

About Mads’ Cookhouse
Hello there! I am Madhu, a young woman of seventy-plus who loves to cook, feed, and eat. My family calls me Mads. I cook up a storm in my cookhouse and my home always smells delicious. Borrowed teeth (dentures), borrowed leg (titanium rod), and borrowed eyes do not hold me back. I am notorious for increasing waistlines and decreasing will power.
If you love to cook or just starting out, follow me as I cook up and share some lip smacking recipes. Food should be simple and easy to cook. I share secrets from my kitchen (and those of my mother). So grab that pen and paper (share/bookmark button) and let’s get going.
Lip-smacking Recipes

Rava (Semolina) Upma is a popular breakfast dish from southern India. This is my take on a healthy version loaded with vegetables.

Looking for a perfect side dish for your roasts and pies? Pan Roasted Potatoes is the recipe for you.

There is nothing quite as easy to make as a Quesadilla. With lots of options, it is perfect as an evening snack for kids or a meal in itself.

Paneer (Cottage Cheese) Bhurji
There is more to Punjabi cuisine than just tandoori chicken. Quick and easy to rustle up, Paneer Bhurji is also a family favorite.

Okra (Bhindi) Tawa Masala Fry
If you love the tawa fry vegetables served at weddings, this is the perfect recipe for you. Ready in minutes and just as delicious.

Easy Peasy Chicken Noodles
Nothing is quite quick and easy to prepare as a bowl of noodles. Here is my recipe for an easy peasy version that is ready in minutes.

Masoor Dal Kebabs
Cooking is all about innovation. On more occasions than one, people have mistaken it for a mutton kebab.

Lemon Coriander Soup
No soup is quite as refreshing as the Lemon Coriander Soup. A tangy, clear soup rich in vitamin C, it is perfect for the summers.
