Re: short cuts in the desi kitchen
readymade garlic paste from the store has some acidic preservative in it...it sputters like crazy in hot oil....i hate it! fresh garlic is so much better.
i never understood how to best use the pre-fried onions in desi cooking. Do you pour them when the curry is almost done?
Cooking for two is pretty fast anyways...most meals are done in less than an hour if u just defrost the meat first. I also like cooking salaans in the oven or the slow cooker. I dont have to stand over it and get other things done
