Kitchen Hacks



Kitchen experiences can be pretty much like handling love. The search for the perfect recipe is always an on going process and you got to keep things going right even when everything seems to be going left! Let's give you a hand with the ladle though.

Set it up: It's cold and the curd takes much longer than usual to set. I know the easier option is to hop across to the super market but I want my home set curd! This one is really simple & really works. Just when you are leaving the curd to set, simply introduce 1 green chilli (uncut) to the milk and close the container and leave to set. Two to three hours is all that it will take. When done, just remove the green chilli and  enjoy your curd. The green chilli leaves no taste & flavour. Bingo!



Soak it up please: Ooops! Threw in extra salt in the gravy? Don't stress. The good old potato is here to rescue. Depending on the quantity of the gravy, simply put raw potatoes cut into only halves in the curry and let it stand for a while. Check the taste after some time. If you have not gone really overboard with the salt, changes are that potatoes will absorb the extra salt without leaving any taste behind. Pull out the potatoes once done; heat up the gravy well and walk out of the kitchen like nothing ever happened!

Let's get cheesy:  Friends dropping in with a 1 hour notice and one of them is a vegetarian? What on earth do you serve him for starters? Don't fret. Quickly put some potatoes to boil and grate some mozzarella cheese in the mean time & set aside. Mash boiled potatoes & salt and make small patties. Put in some of the grated mozzarella, make small balls or fingers & refrigerate. Once the guests arrive, give it a quick fry. Serve piping hot and see them play and stretch out the mozzarella as they dig into these easy & simply heavenly home made potato kieves

PS: The mozzarella will stretch only when the kieves are hot. So if you have prepared them much before, then give it a quick heat in the microwave just before serving.

Something fishy here:Got that lovely marinade well soaked up in the fish and now just putting it in the pan or grill to cook? May we suggest that you spread out a layer of thinly cut lemon slices first, place your fish on them and then cook. The fish will not stick to the base so turning over will be easy. The fresh flavour it will lend to the fish comes as an added bonus!


Love hacks; the search is on. Kitchen hacks; there is help at hand.
