Many times the women of the house complain that their family members prefer hotel food. It has been observed that even when food is cooked at home, people order food from outside because they do not find home food tasty. If this happens in your home too, there is no need to worry.
By adopting some simple and effective tips, you can bring great taste to the food at your home. With the help of these tips, even ordinary home food can be transformed into very tasty and restaurant style. Let us know about these tips-
Often people add spices directly while cooking. But you should avoid doing this. Especially use cumin, coriander, fennel, celery and black pepper by dry roasting them first. When spices are heated, their natural oils activate, doubling their aroma and flavor. In this way you can get better taste than readymade powder. You can use such spices in raita, sabzi, paratha filling and tadka.
If you are making dal, khichdi, vegetable or rice, then after cooking, add one spoon of ghee on top. Ghee acts as a flavor carrier, and adding it at the end enhances the flavor of the spices, making the food taste even better.
Most people add salt all at once while cooking. But it would be better if you add salt gradually – a little at first, then a little in the middle and finally as per need. Salt brings out the flavor, and adding it slowly allows the flavor to penetrate the vegetable.
