In our wildest dreams, I do not think that many of us fathomed a pandemic of this magnitude impacting the world in which we live. There are those of us that are in coronavirus quarantine, medical professionals fighting on the front line to save lives, and those that are daily risking their lives by going to work to keep social unrest from occurring. What a time to be alive and more importantly to come together as a human family to fight this disease.
Using Pantry Staples During The Coronavirus
As many of you know, making Indian food can be time-consuming and ingredient rich. The end result is traditionally worth the effort. It brings great joy, comfort, and can even be spiritually satisfying to the cook and the diner. Still, given that many of us are in a pinch, I asked our readership and extraordinary food bloggers to share some quick, low ingredient Indian food recipes that can be made with what you have in your pantry. These items are what most of us have in our Indian food reservoir since Indian food is spice extensive.

Staying Resilient During The Coronavirus Pandemic
Without a doubt, this is a frightening and trying time for all of us in many different ways. However, it is not a time to give up but to stay resilient. I know, saying this is easier said than done. But speaking with tears currently in our family’s eyes, earlier this week, we lost a loved one due to pneumonia. They decided to give up being on a ventilator so that someone else could live. Hence we will not be able to come together as a family to grieve our loss and celebrate their life right now but, you know what, one day, someday, we will.
In the meantime I hope these recipes are helpful and provide a bit of ease. Thank you again to everyone who shared their recipes and a little bit of themselves too.
