An easy, effective way of greasing a tawa / frying pan for making Dosas (Polo) is by using a half- slice onion dipped in oil. Hold the onion by piercing with a fork.

Is that whisk nowhere to be found when the sauce comes to the boil? To avoid culinary disasters, keep utensils within arm's reach. Try a ceramic vase next to the stove for wooden spoons, tongs and spatulas. Hooks attached to a rod under your cabinets (or on the wall), help hang implements, ladles and slotted spoons within easy grasp.



Cooking tip for noodles:



Always heat enough water and wait till it boils, before adding the noodles.

The noodles should be completely immersed in water. It is best to add salt to noodles cooking in water shortly before it comes to a boil - salt adds flavor and ensures firm strands.

You can add a teaspoon of oil so that the noodles don't stick.

 Serve noodles immediately to keep them from getting sticky and soggy.



Smart tip for Sponge Cake:



For a healthier sponge cake, add a big spoon of honey to the batter and see the difference.

  1. Don’t preheat your oven. Have you ever been pressed for time and just shoved that tray of chocolate chip cookies in an oven that hasn’t been preheated? What happened? Presumably you may have had to add one or two minutes to the cook time but it certainly didn’t add ten minutes or more to the cook time. With many ovens it takes 10-15 minutes to warm up to 350 degrees, and that’s wasted energy. Don’t waste your time and energy preheating, get those cookies in the oven and enjoy!
