How are Multicookers Useful
The best thing about multi-cooker recipes that vegetarian families love is that they save both time and counter space. Instead of using a separate vessel for boiling, steaming or reheating, one appliance can handle many small cooking tasks.
These easy multi-cooker recipes are useful for:
-
Working professionals who need quick meals
-
Students living away from home
-
Small families with limited kitchen space
-
Health-conscious people who prefer steamed food

Anyone who wants fewer dishes to wash
A multicooker is not only about speed. It also helps you cook with less oil, retain texture in vegetables and prepare simple one-pot meals.
Comforting Slow Cooker-Style Classics
Some vegetarian dishes taste better when cooked gently. While compact multicooker kettles are not full-sized slow cookers, you can still make slow cooker-style multi cooker recipes by using controlled heating and simple ingredients.

Vegetable khichdi: Rice, dal, turmeric, vegetables and ghee
-
Dal soup: Moong dal, garlic, cumin and pepper
-
Tomato rasam: Tomato, tamarind, curry leaves and spices
-
Corn spinach soup: Sweet corn, spinach, pepper and milk
