   Also, if potatoes are not available for some reason, you can also use chapati dough to pull the excess salt from the gravy.

   Another tip is to use wheat flour dough (small ball without salt added). This small dough-ball will absorb the extra salt as well as extra chilli. Rest the dough-ball into the gravy/curry/soup for 5-10 mins than take it out.

   For many liquid based gravy Tomato will also work fine.

   Hi Amulya,

   Yes, if it is parchment paper…not wax paper. The only important thing is to cut it to the exact size of your pan.

    Hi Deena,

    Though we’d love to put out more videos every week, a lot of time and effort goes into the production of our shows. Plus, we do have the time constraints of being full time moms as well .

    How do you reduce the sour taste from a tomato based gravy?

    You have to add a pinch of sugar to neutralize the acidity from the tomatoes.

    Hi there,
    Tip to cover up over salted dal’s. While boiling it you can put a roll of wheat dough and let it be there for about 2-3 min n pull it out.
