Hi Hetal & Anuja,
Thanks a lot for posting this tip. I think i remember asking you this question some time back (You can refer to Tips on ripening fruit quickly in your website, i had posted a comment )
Thanks a lot for a video demo on this tip. You both made my day !!!
Hi Hetal & Anuja u r doing a great job and ur tips r simply great.i have one question when i am boiling milk for curd r for sweet rice in a nonstick pan.The milk is sticking to the bottom of the pan.to avoid this what can i do?r any other option is there for boiling milk for preparing curd can u plz help me in this ………..
The best way to boil milk without sticking is in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl. It may take you a few attempt to find out exactly how many minutes to make it boil, but after that, it is easy. Be sure you DO NOT stir the milk while it is cooking.
If you use the stove, you have to stir very frequently. One tip when using a steel pan to boil milk is to coat the inside with plain water before adding your milk. The water keeps the milk fat from sticking to the steel. You still have to keep stirring often. I have not tried this water trick on non-stick pans.
dear hetal n anuja,
hi there!
i am a great fan of your site and have fallen in love with the art of cooking,thanx to u.
i wanna know how to store health drinks like horlicks,etc once the seal of the bottle or pouch is opened since every time i tried keeping them in airtight containers,they still tend to form hard lumps which r impossible to break.Ihave wasted a lot of them so kindly advise how to store and use them.
Thanx…..happy navaratri,
love,

There are a couple of things you can do to avoid moisture and lumps. First of all, do not store the air tight container in the refrigerator or in a cabinet directly above your stove. Second, do not keep a spoon in the container because when you add a spoonful of the powder to a cup of hot milk, the steam from the milk will get on the spoon. When you place the steamy spoon back into the container, it will form lumps. If you buy a pouch, you can consider storing the entire pouch in a ziploc bag.
Hi Anuja and Hetal,
Do you think you will ever show how to cut open a coconut and get out the coconut meat? I’ve tried and it seems like such a pain. I had hoped you might have a tip for an easier way. Thanks so much for adding a pinch of spice to our lives!

This tip is really great. I am big fan of Pineapples..infact it’s my favorite fruit, but i am not able to enjoy them as often ever since I came to States.
Just a quick question though. I was wondering which brand knives you used for cutting. i have wanted money twice on really crapy knives and this time I want to make wise investment. Please suggest!
Just the other day I was lamenting how I have stopped eating pineapples because “they are so intimidating” (yes, my exact words too!) to cut. And I absolutely hate the sugary syrupy things they sell as pineapples in cans. Thanks a lot for this video! Just added pineapple to my grocery list
Enjoying your site. With the Pineapple – after taking off the top turn the pineapple upside down and let it rest for a day(on counter or in fridge) and this way all the juices that are in the bottom will come to the top making the whole pineapple more favourful and juicy.
