A collection of Store Cupboard Recipes, i.e recipes using rice, grains, beans, dals, legumes or different flours.

The above pic uses different dals, beans and rice and is 1/2 cup of each. With half of this quantity I made this flourless Mix Lentils and Beans Chila/Dosa/Pancake. One can literally use any combination here. One can add the different lentils and beans which one do not like and add in here. Everytime you will have a different pancake which would taste amazing.

Here are a few ideas from my blog. The below recipes hardly use any vegetables, except tomatoes in a few recipes or not at all. If I have added any veggie recipe and you do not have, just skip adding it or check another recipe.

Also most of the recipes do not have any onion or garlic. If they have and you do not have, just skip it. Enjoy some meals without them, they are tasty. 

I am sure you would get at least one fourth of the recipes which you can make from the ingredients available in your pantry. So here is a few list apart from a lot of Store Cupboard Recipes.
