Keep this in a cooker and keep it in the cooker. put the weight and allow it just only one whistle. When you open you will get good gulob jamuns,:crazy fully cooked and soaked one. Try this.

5. When you prepare curry using beans or cabbage or greens, you may put over salt because of the cut veg. quantity. to avoid this add salt when you finish the curry.

Some more Cooking Tips !

To regain freshness in stale chapattis Just wrap them in a clean cloth and pack them in a vessel that will fit into the pressure cooker and steam it for 5 min. Your fresh chappati is ready to serve.

To determine if baking powder is still active add 1 teaspoon to 1/3 cup of hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it's still active and will give good baking results.

To keep your bananas from going too ripe too fast keep them in a plastic bag.

To avoid stickiness in Rice Add a few drops of lemon juice to the rice while cooking, you will find that the grains of rice will remain separate.

For crispy lady fingers Add a few drops of lemon juice while cooking for a crispy taste

To remove excess oil in any fried vegetables Sprinkle a little gramflour over the vegetables. Gramflour absorbs the excess oil and makes the vegetable tastier. Instead of gramflour you can use rice flour or rava or even bread powder for this purpose.

To cook dal quick and tasty, Add one sp oil and a pinch of turmeric powder to the dal before placing it in the cooker. Or even you can cook dal in kadai. It will cook faster than normal and it wont come out of the vessel.

To prevent the insides of the cooker from turning black Add a piece of tamarind or lemon peel to the cooker while boiling.

To preserve the white color in cauliflower and cabbage. Add a teaspoon of milk or milk powder while cooking.

To prevent milk from curdling while boiling Add a pinch pf baking soda to it and it will regain its freshness.

To save oil while frying Add a pinch of salt to the oil while frying ‘pakodas’ or ‘koftas’ and you will use up less oil.

To make good crispy French fries, First blanch potatoes in hot water till tender, then cut them. then deep-fry in very hot oil till crisp. Take care not too add too many potatoes at once to the oil. This causes the temperature of the oil to come down and you will end up with fries that are greasy, not crisp!
