Tips Before Cooking

• An Apple a Day keeps the doctor away, but a discoloured apple is not favoured by many. So to keep the colour intact just apply a little juice of a lemon on the exposed surface. The apple remains fresh for you to eat.
• Never throw away the water used during boiling vegetables. This water has the most vital nutrients. Use it for the gravy. 
•  Indian cuisine is incomplete without coriander. But when they dry out, there is no fun in using them. To keep the coriander fresh, put it in a muslin cloth and store in the refrigerator. It remains fresh as ever.
