If there's one thing that worked out in our favour, during the lockdown, it's cooking. Since all our favourite restaurants were closed, we took to cooking. From Italian to Meditteranean — surely we've all whipped up more than just Dalgona and banana bread, right? If that got you into cooking and you're looking for ingredients to fix a fancy meal for your fam, here's a list of ingredients. Go, curry up!

Don't you just miss an aromatic plate of Thai curry and rice? We sure do but when we stumbled upon The Prodigal Farm's Thai Curry Paste, things have changed and how! All you've got to do is toss-up all the veggies you love and use this Thai Curry paste as the base. We recommend adding some fresh coconut milk for making it an authentic affair. 

While you're at it, check out The Prodigal Farm's range of products like Basil Pesto, Pizza Sauce, etc. Plus, the brand makes use of fresh and natural ingredients.

Mentally, we're already downing a bowl of ramen! Thanks to Urban Platter, we can whip up many exotic dishes at home. Our next pick is this Shiro Miso Paste. Whether you're making ramen, stew, or a dressing — this miso paste will fix up a warm meal. Personally, we love tossing Udon noodles in miso stew and add some veggies like corn, bok choy, mushroom for a delicious bowl of ramen. But if you're new to miso, remember that it's acquired taste so we recommend starting with a minute quantity.

Of course, we cannot make trips to Taco Bell or Habanero every day but we can try to master their specialty tortilla wraps or tacos at home, isn't it? Since Habanero has a wild range of sauces like Peri Peri, Sriracha, Hot Sauce, and even salsa, it's quite easy to toss our favourite Mexican dish at home. But let's take it a notch up, shall we? These Tortilla Wraps from Habanero are perfect because we can make burritos or wraps in a jiffy. Make some salsa (or buy at Habanero), cook up some meat or tofu and some beans — and you're all set to tuck into awesome!

The Gourmet Jar's pasta sauces are legit! And if you've been planning to make some pasta, order in this Nutty Pasta Sauce. Aromatic, nutty, and preservative-free — we've cooked this with some spaghetti and fell a bit in love. If you're into sauces that have a rich tomato flavour, this one fits the bill. 

While you're at it, check out The Gourmet Jar's other range of pasta sauces or marmalade.

Love couscous? Then you've got to make some couscous with grilled vegetables. We're rooting for Pearl Couscous from Nature's Basket. While it barely takes 20 minutes to make this dish, you can also make salads and soups with it. The best part is it's healthy and wholesome.

While you're fixing a nice meal, why don't you stir some cocktails on the side? We've always gotten &Stirred's cocktail mixes to get a party started and we recommend getting this pack of 12. Completely preservative-free, you can make Cosmopolitans, mojitos, margaritas, etc. We love their bloody mary mix too. The margaritas go well with burritos...just saying!

Mozzarella Cheese

Of course, you need cheese. Whether it's Mexican or Italian — never say no to some cheese. And we're loving Himalayan Cheese's mozzarella. Plus, you can make cheese poppers too. Want more? Check out their Cheddar Cheese, Garlic Nettle Gouda, and their specialty — Kalari Cheese. They've got aged cheese that's around 12 months old.

Dried Shiitake Mushrooms

The Mushrooms Hub Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (100 g): Amazon.in: Grocery & Gourmet Foods

If you score some shiitake mushroom, the possibilities are endless. From creamy shiitake mushroom risotto to stir-fries, you can whip up a storm. But we like something simple — Garlic Roasted Shiitake Mushroom. Toss mushroom with lots of garlic, basil, thyme, and salt. Put them in an oven for a quick roast and you've got yourself a delicious and healthy snack to munch on! 

To make that happen, order in Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, and you're all set!
