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 :

9. Fruit Chaat

When we want to go really healthy, fruit chaat is our best bet. I like to toss together 'low maintenance' fruits (like grapes, bananas etc.) and a spicy, tangy dish is ready. You can never really have enough of this!

10. Curd Sandwich

If bread is available in abundance, so is curd! And mixing the two is not a bad idea at all! Apply curd on toast and supplement with condiments and vegetables and relish the result of your 'hard' labor!
