what does they do to the dish.. whats the secret thing? why we cant get that taste smell in our hoem cooking?
Once i was listening to a chef's programme and a listner asked the same question and he said , firstly , its the oven and stoves that they use .. they use a professional range which has high quality temperature controls ... and the chefs know exactly how much to cook .. that really does make alot of difference to the cooking ... home stoves dont have controlled temperatures ..
secondly, they do have their little tricks , which normally they dont give out .. for example , did you know most places where you eat butter chicken , its color is red and its slightly sweet ... why? because they use sugar to sweeten it and food color to give it that reddish color ! where as we at home , would kill ourselves with tomatoes just to get that red color ! and left wondering why our butter chicken doesnt have that sweetish taste !
another example : check any recipe of gulab jaman and you will see that its got egg mentioned as one of the ingredients ... a chef once told me that the jamuns that you get in the market they dont use egg ! so i tried the recipe without egg and tadaaa! i got brilliant market jaisay tasting jamuns !
so the way chefs do their cooking is quite different to what they tell us !!!
Most restaurants don't like to reveal their secret ingredients. After all, they have a business to run. And everyone cooks the same dish differently. For example, recipe for nihari varies from one person to another, one restaurant to another. So differences in cooking style is one reason we don't get the same taste at home.
And the chefs have specialized in cooking, that's their area of expertise. They've learned the tricks of the trade, so to speak. Just like a chef may not know the ins and outs of your profession...similarly we don't know all their special tricks.
Also, sometimes chefs have access to special equipment and machinery which allow thorough mixing and temperature control that we may not have at home.

yeah specially chinese food ,kabhee waisa banta he nahee..lakh try ker lo ,,:(

Re: kuch bhi kar lo restaurant jaisa zaiqa nahi ata
^ They say that real authentic chinese food from China itself does not taste anything like the chinese dishes you eat in American restaurants. I've heard that the dishes in China do not have much of the sweet taste that we often find in Chinese restaurants.
I've looked through chinese cookbooks and they use ingredients that we typically may not use in our homes which can account for the difference in taste. And as said earlier...chefs have their special machinery and equipment.

I think it's because chinese use different rice(Jasmine or brown) and oil(peanut)...We usually don't have these at home. But still, I think the chinese made at home tastes great!

Re: kuch bhi kar lo restaurant jaisa zaiqa nahi ata
Here's how I make vegetable fried rice
You'll need cold rice or if u cook rice keep it just a little undercooked so it doesn't get mushy/soft when mixed with sauce
Heat oil Wok, crack in eggs stir quickly to scramble them then take them out into a plate, now add crushed garlic to the same oil, stir a little then add soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and chilli sauce, add mixed vegetables(i use frozen stirfry mix which contains carrots, corn, beans, broccoli, bell peppers, etc) except green onions and stir fry them on High flame for a minute or two add some salt as well, now add chopped green onions, rice and scrambled eggs....stir gently so rice doesn't get mashed up. Keep the flame high, add more soy sauce if needed. Cook for a minute or two and then turn off heat.
Some tips:
use slightly more oil than usual
don't overcook vegetables
dont add too much soy sauce- it can ruin the taste
cooking on high flame is important- it's 'fried' rice afterall!
let me know if u have any more questions..:)
dats the way i make it angel..but there r somethings diff as well...
1-i always use 1 or 2 day old fridge cold rice...not even undercooked..
2-i don't use garlic...but if i have to put chicken then i use it..
3-instead of chilli sauce i put fish sauce as well...that's the key ingredient..
4-i dont add any salt..sauces r already so salty..
5-and u r done:)
