• Tip Tuesday

  • From: ravins
  • Description:

    I recently started watching the tips posted and love the idea! They are very useful. I thought I could contribute something for all those busy working women out there like myself. It is quite challenging to prepare dinner after you get home in the evening. I usually get home around 7:00PM and am quite tired. I like to cook and serve atleast one fresh meal for my family. Typically I like to spend not more than half hour to 45 mins in the kitchen. Here are a few things that can be done during the weekends that could speed up the cooking process during the week:

    1. Peel the onion (do not cut the head out). Keep the whole peeled onion in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. Each day it is easier to take the onions that you need and quickly chop them up. Sometimes, I use the food processor to chop the onions and it is mighty quick.

    2. Grind ginger and garlic together into a paste and store in the refrigerator. This can be used for upto a week or more.

    3. Put green chillies in a food processor. Do not grind them too fine. I like mine to be a little coarse. Store in the refrigerator.

    4. Keep home made Dania powder and Jeera Powder handy.

    5. I usually ask my babysitter to cut the vegetables for me. This way, when I get home I am ready to get going.

    Doing all of the above would save me about 20-30 mins of prep time every day.

• Pressure cooker recipes with n

  • From: Artur
  • Description:

    Greetings:

    I own a jiggle-top pressure cooker and am looking for recipes that use no oil or dairy products.  I know of people who prefer to "fry" their spices in water rather than oil.  I am looking for recipes for a bean masala, a potatoe leak soup, and a vegetable and dahl stew or soup.  I saw such a stew made with sweet potato, dahl, and brown rice (along with spices).  Very tasty.

    Also--and this is very important--I have a question about using either individual spi

  • From: stronger
  • Description:

    I am planning to buy a food processor mainly for chopping (fine and coarse), slicing, shredding veggies, kneading dough, a juicer function would be a plus... I was thinking about Kitchen Aid KFP 750 as its powerful and moderate sized according to their website. But I would like to get some input if there's a better one for indian-american cooking. I would appreciate any help picking one that easy to use, easy to clean, with good power and heavy duty parts and has all these functions... Thanks
