# To make chapatis soft, leave the dough for 30min.

# Adding 1/2 tea spoon of sugar while cooking beetroot in cooker avoids the spreading/splashing of colour.

# Dip the knife in water while cutting boiled potatoes this avoids sticking to the knife.

# Add Brinjal pieces or peeled smoked Brinjal in water for around 10min. Discard the water. This remove any bitter taste from them.

# Add a pinch of turmeric and a drop of oil to cook Toor dal faster.

# Wash rice in water and spread it on a cloth or a paper for drying for 20-30min This separates the rice grains.

# Holding any spice powder packets directly above the dish while cooking spoils the powder due to the hot vapours. Take out the required amount of powder on a spoon and then add it to the dish.

# Using a flat bottomed pan for cooking helps in equal distribution of heat.
