Manage extra food smartly

Jul 18, 2011

Extra food is a cause of lot of anxiety, not only now but since years before. So our grandmothers have suggested many techniques to tackle this issue. Well today with the help of refrigerators and canned food which contain preservatives this might not sound like a huge distress. Mothers would highly disagree with this, they always face problems with extra food as children and even adults wouldn’t want to eat the same food over again and hence there is a lot of wastage .Certain methods are suggested to use up your leftover food.

• Left over rice can be added with salt and pepper and mashed .Then the mixture could be made into small balls and then dried. Here you have a snack ready which can be stored for a longer time and can be fried and served with tea.
• The water that remains after cheese is made at home can be added to the dough which helps make fluffier bread.
• Left over vegetables can be fried and bread from morning can be dipped in milk, the vegetable can be mashed and stuffed inside the soaked bread, this when fried makes delicious evening snack.
•  If the dough gets fermented from the power cut last night, it can be mixed with some jaggery and fried on the fried pan.
