Cooking Tips:

  • Add a pinch of sugar while cooking any green leaf vegetables. This will help maintain the bright green color.
  • Remove the stems from chilies before storing them. This will keep them fresher for a long time.
  • To keep coriander and other leafy greens fresh longer, wrap in newspaper and place in a perforated container in the fridge.
  • If the milk begins to boilover, quickly sprinkle a little cold water over it and the overflow will subside.
  • If dried herbs are used in a recipe, crush them first to release their fragrance
  • To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
  • After boiling noodles you should immediately put cold water in them to separate it otherwise it is going to become sticky.
  • Garlic skin comes off easily if the garlic flakes are warmed a little before peeling.
  • When you bake cookies and they come out too hard, simply put the cookies in a bag with a piece of bread overnight .
