Using spices and onion in the cooking (which we do on a daily basis!) makes the house smell like a restuarant, carpets & clothes absorb them too! Any idea how to get rid off this smell? I switch on the exhaust fan but it doesn’t help a lot especially when I am using fresh spices!
Thanks!

Hi Rathna,
Try boiling equal portions of white vinegar and water in a pot and letting it simmer for an hour or so. It should help neutralize the odors.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
This dish tastes simply superb. But since my son loves food that is more spicy, hence could you kindly tell me how to make this dish more spicy?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Sudha,
You can always add green chilies, red chili powder or more garam masala to make the dish more spicy.

Hello Ladies,
Since I didn’t make the punjabi masala, how much of the fresh onions/tomatoes would I need for this recipe?

Approx 1 med onions and 1 tomato will work out great.
