Bachelor Recipes - Indian Bachelor Cooking Ideas - Vegetarian Recipes For Bachelors
Generally men cook very rarely. But if they cook, they do it really well. I have seen this in many instances. Many bachelors are forced to cook when they stay apart from family but some guys really love to cook and it would be their favorite hobby too.
In my family, my Chithappa ( Mr.Velayutham, my father’s bro) is so passionate about cooking and he do it as a hobby. When I was young, I have seen him cooking Sunday breakfast for our family. Even now he is following this practice of weekend cooking. His tomato thokku is very popular among our friends and family. Soon I will share his specialty recipe here. Next is my Father. He started to cook when he got transferred to Mumbai for 3 years. Before that I have never seen him inside the kitchen.
In Mumbai, he learnt cooking from his colleagues and picked up really well. Whenever my dad comes for vacation, we used to tell him to cook for us. We love his Kara kuzhambu and Rasam.
I would also like to mention about my Bachelor friend Jayagopal. He cooks regularly for himself and sometimes for his friends too. I appreciate his passion and sincerity in cooking. He always suggest me to share some easy recipes for bachelors. Many thanks to you Jayagopal for the motivation..
Ok, coming to this post. Here I have shared some easy recipes for guys/girls who looks for simple South Indian cooking ideas. I have also given some North Indian recipes but not much. I will update this page whenever I post any. Most of the recipes here call for no grinding or less grinding works. I have categorized them as Breakfast recipes, healthy millet and oats recipes, Side dishes for idli,dosa and rice, rice varieties for lunch box , dinner recipes and Snacks.
I hope Bachelors, Beginners in cooking, spinsters and Guys who stay alone in abroad, Husbands who wants to impress their wives would be benefitted by this post. Ok,enough of my stories. Lets move on to the collection .

Khara Bath Recipe-South Indian Breakfast Recipes
Among all the hotels that serve khara bath, Brahmin’s coffee bar kharabath is the most popular one. Any body who visit Bangalore for the first time would wish to try Idli, khara bath, coconut chutney and filter coffee in brahmin’s coffee bar. I am happy that I have tasted it twice with my School moms friends in Gandhi Bazaar.
After tasting there, I have tried several times to recreate the same at home by referring so many recipes and youtube videos. But nothing came up to the mark. Recently I came across Shanthi mam’s recipe using bath powder which was very different from other recipes I had tried. So I bookmarked and tried it today for our breakfast. It came out really well and I was completely happy with the result. I won’t say it tasted 100% like Brahmin’s coffee bar ones. But it was close it. Sendhil liked it a lot and he was full of praises. What else I need to post this recipe.
To get the actual taste of karabath, you must add more ghee, oil. So please don’t hesitate to use it. After all we are going to make it once in a while. Don’t worry about the Calories and just enjoy this Karnataka delicacy at home.
Lets see how to make Karnataka most popular Kharabath recipe with stepwise pictures !

Saravana Bhavan Kurma Recipe - Hotel Vegetable Kurma For Parotta, Roti With Video
Recently I saw this Saravana bhavan hotel style mixed vegetable kurma recipe for parotta and chapathi in Amudha’s blog. I tried it for Sendhil’s lunch box to pack with roti by following an easy one pot method. It smelt and tasted very similar to most of the hotel style vegetable kurma. I loved it very much. I packed this kurma and soft Chapathi for his lunch box & I had it with some store bought frozen parotta for my breakfast. It tasted great for both. So you can make this kuruma as a side dish for roti and parotta as well. If you don’t have all the vegetables in hand, just try adding potato, peas and make it as potato kurma. Kids would love this combo.
Try this recipe and don’t forget to smell your hands after you finish eating this kurma. It would be awesome !! Ok, lets see how to make this most popular, super flavorful Saravana Bhavan Hotel Style mixed vegetable kurma with video and step by step photos and video.
