All of us have been in that position in life when there is nothing available to sustain us. Some of us have had to face the wrath of the messy food of mess while others have had to face their own messy skills as a cook. No matter which category you fit in, at times like those certain evergreen dishes/drinks come to the rescue. All of us rely on these dishes difficult times (read when your maid is on an off or you have nothing in your refrigerator). Here are some of them :

3. Aloo Chaat

If you have boiled potatoes, nothing like Aloo chaat. It's filling and flavorful, just like we Indians like it. Toss potatoes and whatever condiments suits your fancy in a bowl and relish the taste!

4. Toast with Condensed Milk

For those with unending craving for sweets, this dish is a lifesaver. Light brown toasts spread generously with condensed milk is delicious to say the least. If you can add fruits or blanched almonds, your day is made!
