while boiling potatoes if u add a slit green chilli, it wont make the potatoes sweet.
to fry puris just roast them on a tawa for 2-5 seconds and then fry, this will make the puris very fluffy.
while cooking rice, adding few drops of oil can make the rice non-sticky.
after kneading the dough, let it rest for at least 10 minutes covered with a wet towel, it makes rotis very very soft.
while boiling any liquid in an open pan, just place a wooden spatula over it, to avoid spilling of the liquid.

Ice Cream

Always chill glasses before preparing the icecream in it. This way it will stay stiff longer.
Use aluminium containers instead of steel to set the icecream faster. Also, place a thick plactic sheet or spread some salt under the container to keep it from sticking to the floor of the freezer.
Never try to refreeze icecream which has melted completely due to reasons like electricity breakdown. The result will taste disastrous. Instead, add you favourite flavour or fruit and run in a mixie to make delicious milk shake.
For simple but extravagant looking topping, take 2-3 healthy strawberries. Make incisions vertically from tip to base, to form slices. But do not cut fully. Stop just below the base. Now press sideways gently, to form a fan shaped strawberry. Use as topping decor for cakes, ice creams, puddings, etc.
It is best to defrost the fridge before making ice cream, so that the base of the container is not jammed, as also the ice cream will set faster and better.
Crush chikki coarsely and use as nougat over cakes and ice creams. Use nuts of your choice.
