🔧 Kitchen Hacks You’ll Love
- Long‑life herbs: Wrap herbs in a damp paper towel and refrigerate in a box for 5–7 days.
- Freeze flavor: Use an ice tray to freeze leftover stock/sauce for instant cubes.
- No more boil‑overs: Rest a wooden spoon across the pot rim.
- Peel garlic fast: Smash with the flat of a knife, then shake in a jar for 15 seconds.
- Pan preheat test: Flick a drop of water — if it dances, you’re good to sear.

Bring the festive thali experience home: pair a simple dal and veg curry with jeera rice, papad, salad, and a sweet like gulab jamun. Balance flavors (sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy) for that celebratory feel.
