hi,
i think thats what is the problem of evry indian house wife well.I have a suggesstion to this.
Generally on the weekdays one would prefer having light food and heavy foods only during the weekends.
What you can do is set up the days in the week for the veggies to be cooked and once if you think and jot down these things you would feel that theres a lot of things to cook.
You should start from jotting th things that you can prepare and your family likes to eat.
ok then decided what could be the menu for the entire week..may be after a few weeks you may find that to be monotonous but then what you can do is to decide the menu of the day you can write the name of the foods on the chits and try and pick up one of them.all the best.
if possible share some recipes with me as well.

hi dear, yeh i am indian and a vegetarian too so we shall match up to each other's recipes.i have added you as my friend as well.
i like evry thing in vegetarian food..i am a foodie and i jsut love to eat...sharing certain good recipes would be a great idea.
secondly i even had an idea about this like if theres a particular dal or veggie so we shoud jot down the different kinds of recipes from that vegetable or dal and like this we can mutitask a particular cereals or pulses and stuff..and even than if you are cooking the same vegeatble twice or thrice a week in different procedures may not be monotonous to eat...
teme if you liked my idea.

Yes, I am having trouble finding different things to cook. I get really tired of eating the same kinds of foods everyday. It's almost always, meat and potatoes and vegetables and a salad. The same boring food every day. So sometimes my hubby just cooks something himself and gives me a break. He tries different things. like stew and soup and just plain golosh, as in he throws all the left overs and anything else he finds interesting, into a pot, adds water and simmers forever. I need to get some cook books and start trying some different meals. Oh well, maybe one day.
