We all gather valuable knowledge during our cooking. They are equally important as our recipes. I am trying to list here some tips which I experienced when preparing food. Please add your tips here as well so that it can benefit all of us.
- To avoid smell of Cabbage while cooking: keep a piece of bread on the cabbage in the bowl/kadai/pan while cooking.
- Now-a-days we all want to avoid oil in our food. Oil is directly increasing cholesterol triglyceride and hence risk if heart attack. As per Devi Shetty even olive oil is not safe. But we, Bengalis, cannot leave our fries. Hence this tip is towards reducing the absorption of oil in any fried food. Before frying anything soak it in salt water for 30 min, esp Brinjal. It will reduce the amount of oil required by a large amount.
- All vegetables has high content of uric acid in their seeds. So older people who have gout or other uric acid related issues are advised not to eat them in bulk. Especially bhindi (okra) and tomatoes have this issue. We can remove the seeds from bhindi by cutting the tips of it and then slitting vertically like the following pics show. This also reduces the slipperiness of it.
