While preparing mixture – Add a pinch of sugar to gram batter used for the preparation of batter. Your mixture tastes better.

While preparing Gulab Jamun – While preparing dough for Gulab Jamun add a little butter to make your jamuns soft.

While preparing cakes and pudding – While caramelizing sugar for cakes and pudding, add 3 or 4 drops of lemon juice. Sugar never changes its colour to black.

While preparing Uzhunnu Vada (Medu Vada) – Allow the prepared batter to ferment well. Then only your vadas turns crispier. You can add a spoon of curd to make your vadas soft. You can also mix the batter well instead, till its volume increases, and also add a little dosa batter (brought into room temperature).

While preparing bread bajis – Apply a little curd on the surface of bread pieces before frying. They absorb only less amount of oil.
