Malaysian Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has declared a 14-day movement control order nationwide to prevent the spread of  Covid-19 virus, and this has caused a huge wave of panic buying in hypermarkets, supermarkets, and grocery shops.

But there is no need for panic. Here’s the chance to get creative with the ingredients in your kitchen. 

In this article, Kuali has identified 10 recipes that you can make at home with just a few ingredients.
