Re: The Best Answer..

Add milk right away. And later on when its cooking, add in a little white vinegar. When you are making kheer, u need to stand by it. or u wont get nice kheer:p

I know! I think subconsciously I burnt it on purpose so Massi Ji’s curse would be lifted and I too could be a ‘proper cook’.

me better be the winner

@Afshi

give it to the hubby as is…tell him u were multi-tasking the cooking , cleaning, laundry, ironing, mopping, dusting etc - all for him to come home a beautiful home.

the man better enjoy it.

I am so tempted to go for this but I know CB will keel me for not taking it seriously

Ok so many of you said milk and changing the pot. I don’t know how to choose one since more than one person recommended it

So I guess I’ll go for something that is different..

@Chicken_Biryani

Like what ever has gotten burned , just take about 3-4 large potatoes , wash them and without peeling them just cut them in large quarter pieces and place them in the pot , cover and continue to cook the dish on very very low heat … let that be for a good 5-8 minutes , then remove lid and taste the dish a bit , if the smell has reduced and you need to further reduce it , let the potatoes in for a few more minutes …dont forget to keep the lid tightly on the pot.

Apparently potatoes absorb the burnt smell

@Chicken_Biryani

Another trick I just got from a friend :

When somethng like kheer burns, then take it off the flame very carefully and take of the first few layers into a separate pot .. and leave the burnt part behind … make sure you havnt stirred it at all … then add saffron and more almonds to the taken out kheer and the smell will reduce considerably …

If the soups and stews get burnt , just add one or two teaspoon peanut butter and watch the burning smell disappear

Since CB answered both of my questions and gave different options, I guess CB you get to be the winner and ask the next question. But I also liked what Sehrysh suggested for the Kheer, so I guess Sehrysh should be at the 2nd place. CB, if you don’t want to ask a question then Sehrysh is next in place otherwise just shoot

@Sehrysh

I don’t know how to get rid of the burnt smell/taste. But to your comment on burnt kheer, to avoid kheer burning/sticking to the pot, coat the pot with some butter - this prevents it from sticking to pot (this is in addition to the butter you add to the milk while cooking it).

While you still have to stir it constantly while cooking/reducing the milk down, the butter significantly reduces the milk boiling and burning into the pot.

@TLK

Re: The Best Answer..

I need some help, can someone help me pretty please:@:. Ok yesterday i fried shami kebab , they were frozen so i heated them a bit up in the microwave. Than afterwards put some egg on them and started frying them. But they kind of fell a bit apart, so what am i doing wrong Isent that how one is suppose to fry them stupid kebabs:snooty: I so dont like cooking , i should just stick to my crackers

[Aimee]

Re: The Best Answer..

Wicca , shouldnt have heated the kebabs in the micro … doing that releases the water content in the kabab that makes is soggy and ultimately not even egg can keep the kabab in one piece!
