We know that even small tricks can change how you cook daily. Whether it is keeping your herbs fresh for days, making perfectly soft chapatis, or peeling garlic in seconds, these hacks are about making your time in the kitchen easier.
Our Approach to Cooking
At goHomely, we spend a lot of time with over 3,000 home chefs across Bangalore. We see them handle produce, manage bulk prep for events, and cook for families every single day. The tips listed here are things we have learned from watching them work in their own kitchens.
Prep & Storage Hacks
- Herbs and Greens: To keep coriander and other greens from wilting, line your storage container with paper towels. Skip the water—it is the moisture that often causes premature decay.
- Garlic: If you are tired of peeling individual cloves, microwave them for 20 seconds or soak them in water for a few minutes. The skin slides right off.
- Onions: To avoid tears while chopping, soak onions in water for 10 minutes before you start cutting. It makes a noticeable difference.
Cooking Techniques
- Soft Chapatis: Use warm water to knead your dough and add a teaspoon of oil. This keeps the chapatis soft for hours, even after they cool down.
- Thickening Soups: If you want a creamy texture without adding cream, blend 4 to 5 soaked almonds into your vegetable soup. It adds richness and a nutritional boost.
- Crispy Bhindi: Add a small amount of curd or lemon juice while frying your okra to prevent the sliminess and keep the texture crispy.
