Since children are going out of their own home and settle down for jobs in another parts of the world, they find it difficult to get the food they want. If they have the willingness to cook on their own, it is always good.
Hence I thought of pen down whatever comes in my mind called BACHELORS TIP of course, it is useful for the working women and housewives too.
I shall be updating it on a day to day basis or on weekly basis as and when I get time since I am also a working woman. Hence you are requested to go through this link and update yourself.
You are always welcome to post your queries if you have and wants to know anything please do e mail me at rajirk22111989@gmail.com or post your comments in the comment column of the blog. Though I am not a Catering qualified Chef to give you the exact reasons and comments and tips, to some extent these tips are useful as the experience taught me to follow and the guidance from my parents and my mother in law. Of course, friends and neighbours are also part of it.

17.03.2014. Today is Holi an auspicious day and am starting the TIPS for everyone.
Happy Holi, may GOD bless all of us to have a healthy, wealthy, peaceful life in the years ahead.
TIPS:
ALWAYS KEEP MEASURING CUPS, SPOONS ETC WITH YOU WHICH IS HANDY FOR THE BACHELORS.
1) Always keep some TOMATO PASTE and TOMATO PUREE in the freezer. when you want to use it, take out from the freezer and keep it out to bring to the room temperature. It is always handy.
2) Wash, pat dry and cut the vegetables and put in ziplock bag and store in fridge. this will ease your preparation of food.
3) Always soak the dals in water for 15-30 minutes for easy cooking.
4) Keep boiled potatoes in fridge if you intend to make the stuff within 2-3 days. take out from fridge and put in hot water for 10 minutes and then peel off the skin.
5) Look for cut vegetables, cleaned methi / palak/ chowli / lal math leaves if you can get in the near by store. Beans will not stay for more than two days. always bring fresh these kind of veggies.
6) Keep eggs in fridge. Keep lime, curry leaves, coriander leaves.
7) Keep 3G paste i.e. ginger, garlic, green chilli paste. It is always handy. this can be made and stored when you are having weekly off or you get store bought ones. But preparing at home is always best.
8) For peeling garlic, put them in water and peel.
9) While making dosa, it might stick to the pan. what you do is apply little oil on the tava, preferably sesame seed oil and rub it with a cut potato or onion. the cut portion should touch the tava. and always make a small uttappa first then start making the normal dosa.
10) Keep the spatula in water. whenever you try to remove the dosa from the tava, it will be easy.
11) While preparing sticky vegetables viz. bhindi, arbi etc. add one teaspoon of rava, semolina, suji in the subji (dry vegetables). it will not stick to each other.
12) After cutting the brinjal/kathrikka/vazhuthalanga put them in salt/turmeric water to avoid discoloration.
13) Banana flower, banana stem also can be put in butter milk/salt/turmeric water.
14) To clean the cauliflower, put them in water with one teaspoon vinegar. it will help in clearing the dirt if any in the florets and the worms in it. or you can put them in lukewarm water with salt.
15) During summer season, always keep lime in fridge. can make lime juice which will help in rebuilding the energy.
16) Butter milk is another source to quench your thirst.
16) A tender coconut once in two days is always good to avoid de hydration.
17) Make curd at home. Take milk in a bowl. Put 1/4 to 1/2 tsp curd in it. Pour it in a glass and back to the vessel. Repeat the process two to three times. Cover and Keep for setting. Another tip is cover the vessel with another big vessel or you must be having an invitation card. Keep that on top of the vessel and place the plate on top. The curd will set very nicely.
18) Keep bread at home, sandwiches are easy to make provided you have cucumber, tomato, carrots, sandwich masala etc. at home. if you do not have sandwich masala, just put little black salt and black pepper powder.
