Tips of the day


1. If you want to keep biscuits fresh for a longer time, put a piece of blotting paper at the bottom of the container.
2. To keep vegetables fresh for a long time, wrap them in aluminum-foil and place in the refrigerator. 

Question of the day



Tell me friends, which ingredient from our kitchen makes the chops more crunchy; if you add a pinch of it in the batter?

Question 5. Ans. Fishes are marinated with Turmeric and Salt before cooking to avoid the growth of bacteria which is the cause of rotten the fish. Also, marinating increases the taste of fish and gives a good color to the fried fish.



That’s all for today. Please give me your feedback about the blog. Take care. Namaskar.
