7 cooking tips for better Indian food

 

  1. Make Softer Rotis

While kneading the dough to make rotis or parathas, add lukewarm to hot water instead of cold water. This will make softer chappatis. You can also add some freshly crumbled homemade paneer for extra deliciousness and softness

 

  1. Fresh Fish

When refrigerating fish for your curries, rub some salt and turmeric so that the fish remains fresh and flavorful for longer.

 

  1. Storing Herbs

Store coriander leaves and curry leaves in airtight containers in the fridge so that they remain fresher for longer. Wash the herbs, leave them to dry and line the container with tissue paper to absorb the excess moisture.

 

  1. Peel and Store Garlic

To save time while cooking, peel garlic and refrigerate them in an airtight container. These can be used for a week. Once again line the container with tissue paper.

 

  1. Making Yummy Daal

Soak daal in water for at least four hours before cooking. This enhances the flavour of the dish. Use the water to cook the dal.

 

   6. Use Excess Vegetable Water

If you have any leftover water after boiling vegetables, use that to cook rice. It will offer an added punch of nutrition.

 

   7. Getting Better with Rice

Add a little bit of ghee or oil to your rice before coooking to make it more tasty and ensure that the grains don’t stick to one another.
