41) While making coriander chutney, add a few nuts of your choice to make it more nutritious and to increase its shelf life.

42) If you have added too much chilli powder in a gravy, then add some curd, lemon juice or 2 tsp ghee to it, to balance the taste.

43) If your gulab jamuns turn out hard, don't worry; just put them in the pressure cooker with sugar-syrup and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat and then serve warm with a smile.

44) While making potato chips, mix some alum powder in the water and soak the chips in it before boiling.

45) While grinding red chili powder, add a little mustard oil to it to get a bright red colour.

46) It is much easier to grind small cardamom if you add some sugar to it while grinding.

47) Add 1 tbsp gram flour in semolina to make your sooji halwa delicious.

48) While making gravy for a kofta or paneer dish, use milk instead of water for smoother gravy.

49) If asafoetida becomes too hard, then keep a green chilli with it.
