Hi Harsha,
For the refrigerator and the freezer, get a couple of boxes of Baking Soda, open them a little on one side and keep them there. Baking Soda absorbs the different odors.

Hello,
I have a question about pooris. If this is not the right place to post the question, sorry about that.
I want to know how to reheat pooris without losing their puffiness? I heard about wrapping them in a paper towel and reheating them in oven or microwave, but this procedure would make them flat. I want to make ahead around 30 pooris for a saturday party.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Meghana.

Unfortunately, pooris are best had hot and fresh off the stove. You can fry pooris and lay them on a paper towel lined baking pan but they will stay puffy for only few minutes. For a party, you may want to consider another type of bread unless you are able to fry them and serve them fresh.

After asking your question to a few other people, we got one suggestion. You can try to lay the pooris on a baking tray in one layer and keep them in a warm oven. They may stay puffed for a longer time. Again, we have not tried this method so you may want to experiment before your party.

Hello Hetal and Anuja,
I have a question about anodized cookware. Do you know how to keep them clean inside and outside with all the oil drippings. And clean the Karahi especially after deep frying few times the sides of the karahi becomes all hard oil build up which is so hard, that even if you scrape it won’t go and the cookware loose its coating. After making oily parathas the tawa is also hard to clean up because of those oil build up.
Any suggestions to keep anodized, karahi and tawa clean…
Thanks
Madhu

Hi here is a great tip to clean your anodized cookware. add some salt in your washing soap and scrub the vessels. or put salt generously into your scrubber and rub the vessels.

I’ve been doing this for years. It works especially well at the work place where people from all over the world heat their food and you’re not used to some of the smells.

Hi,
Can you please suggest which microwave is best for a family of three, keeping in mind that I am an Indian and would like to experiment with baking and cooking Indian dishes.
Thanks

Hi Akansha,
Unfortunately, our microwaves came with our homes so we did not really shop for one. You may want to ask the store clerk as they usually have a better idea about the brands that they carry in the shop.

The wet towel in the microwave for the egg odor did not work for me I still had that stinky smell in my microwave I guess burning a bag of popcorn will be my only solution I would rather smell that than stinky eggs thanks for the chance though.
