Mommy Says....
...the best way to thicken a curry that turns out too watery is by adding potatoes to it.
...the best way to kill the spice, add tomato puree.
... saute onions a little before grinding them, else you'll have a lingering bitter aftertase.

... allow the cooker to cool down completely before opening it, or you'll spoil the cooker and your food may be undone.
... always, always de-vain the shrimp.
... never run out of 'kothmir'.
... roast the papad, instead of frying it. It's just healthier that way.
... make tiny slits in the chicken while marinating it. It will absorb the 'masala' nicely.
... always try to have a fresh green salad on the side.
... if you're using self rising flour then don't add baking powder, if you're using soy sauce then don't add salt.
