Cooking Techniques

1. Frying egg for fried rice

I saw a friend scrambling egg for egg fried rice. Little steps can alter the look and feel of dishes. So take that extra step,  let the extra plate join the dishes to be done, to make a special dish different from what you do for a quick bite during your busy routine.

2. Cooking Dosa

I have always cooked dosa on both sides. But after looking at some videos of how dosas are done street-side and hotels, they cook it only on one side and add drops of oil on the non pan side to cook it through.

3. Cutting Avocado

Instead of the gong for dinner, let us hear the whistle from Spartan fife - Emerson. came across it in The Year of Dunk book.


4. Sliding a raspberry through the straw as garnish to smoothie. If you have used raspberry in the smoothie, then you are tipping off the ingredients, not that the colour already wouldnt have. But if you are not using, then see how the ruse comes along?

5. Twirling oranges

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
