'onions'.
Most

One
of
the
simple
dishes
that
we
prepare
is
the
white
plain
rice.
We think that preparing rice is no big deal, but sometimes we add more water and the rice turns out to be too soft, which does not taste good. So, what do we do at times like these? How do we solve this issue?
So, take a look at this article for simple and useful daily hacks that are best suited to be applied for cooking purposes. Follow these simple hacks and enjoy cooking!
For White Rice
If you want your rice to be pure white and grainy, add one teaspoon of oil or one teaspoon of lemon juice to the raw rice along with the normal water quantity.
Make sure you cook until two to three whistles; and your white rice is ready to be served. This type of white rice taste is best suited for lemon rice, pulav and other masala rice recipes. This is the simple and useful daily hack that you can try while you cook.
For Raw Onions
Onions
give
the
best
taste
to
any
dish
that
we
prepare.
But
chopping
the
onions
can
be
quite
a
painful
task.
So,
here
is
a
simple
and
useful
hack
that
you
can
try.
All
you
need
to
do
is
to
take
a
bowl
and
fill
it
with
water.
Chop
the
onions
into
two
equal
parts.
Immerse
the
chopped
pieces
into
the
water
bowl.
Leave
it
for
ten
minutes
and
then
start
cutting
the
onions.
If
you
follow
this
method,
I
bet
you
will
not
cry
this
time
while
you
chop
those
onions!
For Ladies finger (Okra)
Okra has several health benefits and is one of the best vegetables for kids. But as you start cutting it, the vegetable becomes too greasy and sticky.
Worry not. To get over this, all you need to do is coat the knife with some lemon drops and then start chopping it. By doing so, the okra does not become greasy even while you fry it. Try this simple and useful daily hack.
For Green Leafy Veggies:
Green vegetables and green leaves such as spinach, coriander leaves, methi leaves and many others are very healthy. However, as soon as you get it from the market, the leaves fade out and become too dull.
So, what you need to do is neatly seperate the strands and tranfer this to a wet cloth and keep it in a plastic box, which can be placed in the fridge. By doing this, the green leaves stay fresh for a minimum of five days.
For Green Chillies
If you want your green chillies to remain fresh for long, remove the stem of the chilli and transfer it to a box. The green chillies can remain fresh for more than a week.
For The Cooker:
Have you been worrying how to remove the stain from the inside base of the cooker? Here is a solution. While you keep the cooker on the stove to cook rice or any other item, what you need to do is to add two pieces of lemon or tamarind inside the cooker with some amount of water.
You will see that after three whistles, the cooker does not turn black or brown in colour. This is one of the best and a very simple useful daily hack that you can try.
For Bananas
When you get fruits, never keep bananas along with the rest of the fruits, as bananas can easily spoil the other fruits. So, keep the bananas and other fruits in two different baskets.
For Ginger
When you want to peel the skin of the ginger, never use a knife, by doing so, half the layer of the ginger can be removed. So, always use a steel spoon to peel the skin of the ginger.
For Onions Again
One
more
important
useful
hack
for
kitchen
and
cooking
is,
never
cut
onions
and
keep
it
in
a
box.
As
the
box
will
smell
really
bad
if
you
store
the
chopped
raw
onions
in
it
for
a
few
hours.
To
save
time,
you
can
chop
all
the
required
vegetables
overnight
and
you
can
store
them
in
the
fridge,
but
never
try
it
with
onions.
For Eggs
If you want to know whether the eggs are fresh or not, take a bowl and fill it with water. Place the eggs in water, if the egg floats, then the egg is bad, throw it right away.
And if the egg sinks into the water, it's fresh. This is one of the simple and useful daily hacks that you need to know.
