Not because of the recipes, but because of the prep work. Peeling garlic, chopping onions, grinding tomatoes, doing the same steps again and again every single day.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a while, you realise most of the time is not spent cooking. It\u2019s spent getting things ready before cooking even begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

One simple way to make things easier is to prep a few basic cooking bases in advance. Nothing fancy. Just the everyday things you use almost daily. Once these are ready and sitting in the fridge, cooking feels much lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n

A mixer grinder makes this whole process quicker. Something like the Ultra Stealth Mixer Grinder works well here because you\u2019re not just grinding one thing, you\u2019re doing multiple small batches one after the other.<\/span><\/p>\n
