    “Cooking can be fun if we know simple cooking hacks to ease our work and I am sure you will agree to it ” – says Plattershare Content partner Parinaaz Marolia

    “We all love cooking our favourite dishes and experimenting in the kitchen to try out something new but an elaborate meal or a simple dish at times can be challenging if we are not ready with the ingredients or there is no time to do it.

    Now one cannot eliminate the complete process of cooking, ( until unless you want to order food online) but these simple, secret and amazing cooking hacks and tips will definitely be life-saving kitchen hacks so that you can quickly dish out your recipes.

    Cooking Hack # 6: Make Rich Red Curry: To get a nice rich red colour in your curry or any gravy first drop the Kashmiri chillies in boiling water for a minute and then put them in chilled water. Then grind along with rest of the masala. Gives an awesome red colour to the dish. Check out the recipe for Chicken Baffat Fiery Curry which uses Kashmiri chillies to get the rich red colour to the curry.

    Cooking Hack # 2: Switch to good old mustard oil -Frying or roasting any savoury food in mustard oil makes it really delicious. It’s got a pungent smoky flavour.Also has a higher burning point so takes more heat making things crispy. check out the recipe for Mushrooms in pepper sauce made in mustard oil

    Cooking Hack # 3: Sun Dry Onions: – Sun drying onions in advance reduces the time to crisp them up to few seconds. You can use fried onions for Biryani, pulao or any dish that calls for fried onions. Also, the use of oil is almost 1/10th of what you would require with frying fresh onions. Check out the recipe for prawn biryani using sundried onions.
