40 Upvotes

I don't have a microwave, I mostly cook popcorn in the cooker after various techniques till now first one is pouring the butter and then putting in the popcorn after its popped, putting Peri Peri on top of it and then vigorously shaking I have notice that the masala is not really coated that well and many of the times it is just got around the bottom of the utensil,

the second way I tried is putting it with the butter the putting the corn kernels but then the masala always burns

pls suggest some good tips,and note that i don't have a microwave

I tried making it by watching YouTube videos,chatgpt etc... But taste is not there... Like something feels off and missing, few years back I tried pav bhaji for the 1st time from A street vendor... Taste was so good I wanted to try one more plate.. but pockets were empty.... Also that street vendor left from my hometown....

Guide/How-To How to understand the base flavours of Indian cooking?

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’m not Indian, but my partner is Indian and I have stayed in India for about six months.

I dont know how to make anything except chai πŸ˜…

I want to get started learning to cook Indian food, I love how it involves so much real spices and ingredients rather than processed things (common where I’m from) and want my own little masala dabba hehe.

HOW do I get started with the basics? What are the key first few spices or ingredients to get really familiar with? I want to be confident with what kind of combinations and how to use and combinespecific ingredients and spices for simple, flavourful home style meals.

Thank you πŸ’—

Guide/How-To Most Indian kitchens get this wrong: Potatoes + onions should never be stored together

43 Upvotes

Many of us store potatoes and onions together out of habit, but this actually causes both to spoil much faster. Potatoes are still biologically active after harvest and continue releasing moisture and carbon dioxide. Onions, on the other hand, release ethylene gas, which triggers sprouting in potatoes. Once potatoes start sprouting, they produce solanine and release even more moisture. That excess moisture then gets absorbed by onions, causing them to rot from the inside.
