Any tips and tricks that we can make use of , please list here .

I will start with mine. Keep a thick syringe in the kitchen not the needle, just the syringe. You can put ketchup in it or any other sauce and draw a zig zag line on an empty plate with an olive or a tomato on a light bed of bit size cabbage , placed right in the middle of the plate.

Or fill the syringe with chocolate sauce and make beautiful even lines on any dessert :slight_smile:

Share yours please :slight_smile:

Here’s another one:

Sometimes the containers of the food you get from the supermarket are really nicely shaped. Keep them for shaping food. For example, I kept an oval shaped one, I think it had filled olives in it. I use it to shape rice for presentation purpose. It was a big container , good enough to shape a serving for two !

Also you can shape dry deserts with these containers , like carrot halwa. I saved a star shape one, it works awesome !

While making salad, I usually peel the cucumbers.. then take a fork and draw deep long lines on the cucumber with it. Then cut it in rounds and I get easy cucumber flowers.

I am always on the look out for small size cookie cutters or stencils. Can use them creatively .

For example, hold the stencil on the top of a bowl of yoghurt and sprinkle any powder ( black pepper or herbs or dhaniya finely chopped or garam masala powder etc ) right in the middle . I usually do a flower stencil and keep that bowl of yoghurt on the table along with pulao :)))

also , I am sure many of you are aware of the toothpick trick?

If not, then I will share the details . With a syringe full of cream or colored yoghurt draw a large circle in a bowl full of white yoghurt. Then draw another circle in that big circle. And another one in the second circle. Then using a toothpick tip , draw and invisible line from the center to the edge of the bowl, crossing all the three circles. you will see a beautiful pattern emerge. Do this as many times as you like and a beautiful flower will form.

I do this with kheer as well !
