To make a soft and fluffy omlette
Heat a non-stick pan, add a little more butter than usual. Beat egg and stir briskly (even while frying) with a fork. This way more air goes in your omelette, making it light and fluffy. Fry till done. Serve hot.
For lighter fluffier omelettes, add 1 tbsp. of water for each egg, instead of milk.
For crispy lady fingers
Add few drops of lemon juice while cooking for a crispy taste.
Protect rice from insects.
Dry 50 g. of mint leaves, powder them and add to 10 kg. of rice. The mint leaves keep insects at bay and they will also impart a delicious flavour to the rice.

*Boil potatoes faster *
Peel, cut potatoes and boil them in water to which a little vinegar is added. They will cook in no time and retain texture as well.
