General Tips for Cooking

Cooking Tips

• To make softer chapattis, take the flour, add warm water and some warm milk and knead the dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes before making chapattis.

• Toasting nuts, rice, rava and dal before cooking with it increases its flavors considerably.

• Adding few drops of oil to the rice before cooking it will prevent it from becoming sticky.

• Use the excess dal water from boiling dal to make rasam. Similarly, after boiling vegetables if you do not want the extra water, the liquid can be used in gravies or for making chapatti dough.

• Rub your hands in a stainless steel sink or vessel to remove the strong smell of onions or garlic.

• When boiling potatoes or eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water. This will help peel the skin easily later.
