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.
