Latest Cooking Tips

If accidentally more salt is added to a curry, stir in two teaspoons of whipped cream.

Lemon halves shrivel in the fridge when unused. Hence freeze them in polythene bags so that they are handy for making cold drink whenever the need arises.

If the vegetables are not fresh, add a little lemon juice to a pot of cold water and soak them for an hour. They will become fresh again.

Green bananas will ripen quickly if kept in a paper bag in a dark place.

To get more flavour, it is better to use ground spices like cardamom, cloves, cumin, cinnamon, rather than whole ones.

Do not discard the outer green leaves of lettuce. Use them in salads as they contain more vitamin A than the leaves inside.

To remove bitterness from fenugreek leaves add a teaspoon of sugar when the vegetable is almost cooked.

Nice. I have a small addition to the frozen lemon tip - instead of thawing and squeezing, cut the peel off the frozen lemon (or lime) while it is still frozen. That way you will avoid getting some extra bitter taste in the juice. The peeled pulp can be sliced thin and then mashed after it thaws, or you can make a very fast cold drink in a blender!
