Food wastage which poses a challenge to efforts for curbing the global hunger rate has been on an alarming high. You could avoid wastage of food or ingredients in your kitchen if you are careful about a few things.
Bread slices cannot be consumed once they have expired. So, to avoid wastage, save a few slices when the bread packet is bought fresh. You could toast and turn them to bread crumbs. These bread crumbs could be used while making cutlets. Mix some grated coconut and sugar with bread crumbs to make a delicious tea time snack.
Cut the bread slices into small cubes and fry until crisp to make croutons that could be added in hot soups.
Though soups are delicious and great for health, it is no fun making them every day. You could make soup once in a week and pour it in ice trays. Pop these in the freezer; take out and melt in boiling water whenever required.
Make sure that the vegetables are washed and dried before keeping in the fridge. Add some beetroot or shallots to reduce the bitterness of bitter gourd. Mezhukkuparatty and delicious stir fry too could be made like this.
If you do not want to cry while chopping onions, wash them before peeling.
While preparing the chapatti dough, mix soy flour, gram flour and wheat flour in the 1:4 ratio to make super soft and delicious chapattis that can be consumed even a day later.
