6 Genius Hacks For Perfect South Indian Cooking

Ferment Batter Quickly

Need dosa batter in a hurry? Add a pinch of sugar to speed up fermentation.

Add Poha For Fluffiness

Soak a handful of poha (flattened rice) with your rice before grinding the batter. This secret ingredient makes idlis soft and fluffy.

Instant Tamarind Paste

Running low on time? Soak tamarind in hot water for 10 minutes and mash it up. Instant tamarind paste is ready for your sambar or rasam!

Freeze The Batter

Freeze the batter for 15 minutes before frying. It helps in shaping and results in crispy vadas.

Use A Pressure Cooker

Save time by using a pressure cooker to cook lentils for sambar. Add all ingredients, and you'll have sambar ready in just 15 minutes!

Soak Before Cooking

Soak basmati rice for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the grains cook evenly, making them fluffy and separate.
