| For instant chutney, combine 1/2 tsp mango powder [amchur], 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 3 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup water and salt to taste in a small pan and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. |
| To prevent Biryani from sticking to the bottom of the pan and getting burnt, spread a layer of bay leaves before layering the rice, meat and vegetables. |
| When preparing sandwiches, use a pair of scissors instead of a knife to cut the edges of the bread slices. Its quicker and the slices will look neater. |

| If your soup turns out too watery and thin, add a grated boiled potato to the soup and simmer till it blends completely. |

| When pan-frying, always heat the pan before adding the butter or oil. |
| A little oatmeal adds much flavor and richness when used as a thickener for soups. |
| A few drops of lemon juice added to whipping cream helps it whip faster and better. |
| Cream will whip faster and better if you first chill the cream, bowl and beaters well. |
| You won't waste flour if you dust it from a large salt shaker onto meats, fish or patties, instead of dipping the food into the flour. It's easier, too. |
