    Hey Sonali…. That was a good tip and what you said was absolutely right!

    As you said, while reading your tip, i too thought it as silly but I tried this out
    and it worked amazingly.
    .
    Thank you for the advice.

    Add a pinch of maida to the oil in which you fry the fish and that's it........

    This certainly is a solution to your problem.

    Puddings without eggs

    I like pudding but I hate eggs. I don’t like making puddings because of the smell of eggs contained in that. Can I make pudding without adding eggs?
    If so, will I get the same taste as that of our real pudding?

    Gulab Jamuns

    I have a question regarding Gulab Jamuns.
    A certain days after making, it gets thickened and because of this it is not as tasty as the fresh ones. Is there any method by which we can prevent this thickening?

    How to retain green color of vegetables?

    After cooking, most vegetables lose its green color.
    It would be nice, if vegetables retain its original color after cooking also.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    To retain green color of vegetables...

    Hey Neha, give a try to this……

    Add 4 to 5 drops of vinegar along with the vegetables while cooking.
    This helps in retaining the green color of vegetables even after cooking.

    Puddings without eggs

    Of course you can make puddings without eggs.
    Use a mixture of custard powder, milk and sugar instead of adding eggs.
    The taste also will remain the same.

    Gulab Jamuns


    Don’t worry if your Gulab Jamun gets thickened up after certain days.
    Together with the sugar solution, boil the Gulab Jamun for 5 to 10 minutes in a pressure cooker. That’s it…. Your Gulab Jamun is now ready to eat.
