Cooking Tips

1. The knife becomes sticky after cutting bhindi. Rub some salt on the knife and wash thoroughly.
2. If you run short of lemons while making a salad, use a mix of vinegar and black salt. The salad will taste yummier and stay fresher for a long time.
3. Add a teabag to chickpeas while boiling them in a pressure cooker. You will get the rich dark blackish brown colour.
4. While cooking onion gravy for the egg curry, sprinkle few drops of water every few seconds. This will give a rich aroma and texture to the dish.
5. Add some ajwain to the besan batter prepared for the pakoras. They will get a distinct flavor.
6. Add little milk to the beaten egg for a fluffier omlette.
