NEW DELHI: Niti Aayog doesn't seem to be content with the plan to make India move around in electric cars and buses by 2030. "The government should explore the prospects for switching over to electric cooking in areas where reliable supply of electricity already exists," the Aayog said in the 'Three Year Action Agenda' released by finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday. However, the truth is that even after assured power supply, even in urban areas, it will be along time before cooking dalchawal on an electric device becomes a common practice. There are several reasons.It is a common perception that electric cooking doesn't work well for Indian dishes. That's why, electric cooking is largely limited to the use of microwave ovens, toasters, grills and fryers in urban kitchens.
