Editorial

Soak pulses/beans overnight to cut pressure-cooker time and gas use, then batch-cook a neutral base (dal, khichdi, or plain rice) and portion into single-serving containers. Cool food quickly (spread in shallow trays), refrigerate within ~2 hours and keep fridge ≤5°C, and reheat until steaming hot. Avoid reheating rice more than once (Bacillus cereus risk). Freeze extra portions for low-effort weekday meals. These steps save burner time and reduce food-safety risks.
