If you dip an onion in scalding hot water before peeling, it won’t cause your eyes to water.

Bread will stay fresher longer with a celery stalk placed inside the bread bag.

When microwaving baked potatoes, stick 3-4 toothpicks into one of the long sides of the potato before placing it in the microwave. --Stand it on the toothpicks and it will cook more evenly.

If you just need a few drops of lemon juice, prick a fresh lemon with a fork and squeeze out the juice you need. Seal the skin with butter and return the lemon to the refrigerator.

To brown chicken in the microwave, coat it with butter (not margarine — it’s the milk solids in butter that brown), then soy sauce, and paprika.

A Healthy Breakfast Recipe - Broken Wheat Upma

Broken Wheat Upma, as the name suggests is a nutrient-rich wheat based upma. While the broken wheat brings in loads of dietary fibre and energy, carrot and green peas bring along a wealth of nutrients, especially vitamin A. The veggies also add crunch to an otherwise soft upma. You may also add other veggies of your choice to make it more colourful and tasty.

Clean and wash the Periyar broken wheat thoroughly. Par-boil the broken wheat in 2 cups of hot water for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and keep aside.

Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, and add the mustard seeds.

When the seeds crackle, add the green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.

Add the onions and ginger, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the green peas and carrots, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the broken wheat, salt and 1¼ cups of water, mix well and pressure cook for 2 whistles.

Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid.

Garnish with coriander and keep aside to cool slightly.

Eggless Rava Cake

Rava Cake is a delicious fusion of Indian flavours in European recipe.

Ingredients:

5 Cups Fine Semolina or Sooji Rava 1 Cup Whole Milk 1 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Beaten Yogurt ½ Cup Ghee ( Pure Desi Ghee works best, but regular Butter can also be used) 1/2 tsp Baking Soda ½ tsp Cardamom Powder (Can use Vanilla essence also )

Method:

Soak the semolina in warm milk for atleast 20-30 mins.

Beat the yogurt with the sugar, till the sugar dissolves

Add the baking soda, ghee and the soaked semolina , along with cardamom powder and beat till

smooth.

Pour water in a pressure cooker with a stand at a level of about 1 inch.

Let the water boil.

Grease a baking tin with ghee and dust with some fine rava or flour.

Pour the mixture into the baking tin. Tap to settle the batter. -Make sure the batter fills only ¾ th of the

baking tin, to make space for the cake to rise.

Cover the tin with an aluminium foil. Pierce the top with a knife for steam to pass.

Carefully place the tin over the pressure cooker stand.

Cover the lid of the pressure cooker without the whistle.

Steam on a medium to low heat for 15-20 mins.

Let it stand for 5 mins further and then remove the tin.

Allow to cool for 30 mins before de moulding.

For a fluffy cake, make sure you use fine semolina and soak in warm milk.

Once baking soda is added to the batter, immediately begin the steaming process. This will make the

most of the activated baking soda and will make the cake rise beautifully.

The aluminium foil is to save the cake from any water spilling during the steaming process but can be

avoided.

Easy wheat flour murukku

Ingredients

Wheat flour - 1 cup Red chilli powder - 3/4 tsp Jeera/ ajwain - 1 & 1/2 tsp Asafoetida - 1/8 tsp Salt - as needed Oil - For deep frying

Preparation

Steam cook atta in a clean white cloth, tied into a bag. You can use your idli pot and place this bag over the idli plate. I used my bamboo mesh too over the plate. You can use pressure cooker also for steaming. Keep the bag in a container and cover and cook without pressure value (pressure regulator).

Steam cook for 15 mins to 20 mins.

Untie and when it is warm enough to handle, break it roughly.

Sieve it and use ur hands to break, if there is any small lumps. I used the clover shaped hole plate for this murukku. Its your choice to choose.

Heat oil in kadai meanwhile you prepare the dough. Add red chilli powder, asafoetida, salt and jeera.

Add a tsp of oil (preferably hot oil) too. Make dough with water. It should be a stiff yet smooth and non sticky dough.

Press into coil shape or what ever comfortable shape you prefer. I opted for this coil shape murukku.

Please refer the video for guidance in the bottom of the post. I pressed in a plastic cutting board and used dosa spatula to take it and transfer to oil..

Deep fry in hot oil, cook both sides until the shh… sound and bubbles reduces. Until crisp and golden brown. Never let oil fume at any point, regulate the heat now and then and ensure even cooking of the murukku. You can press the next batch of murukku while a batch is getting cooked. Drain in paper towel.
