| I have tried this one. Cut the bitter gourd and soak it into mixture of butter milk and turmeric powder combination. We call this butter milk + turmeric powder combination (moree). I have found this effective |

| My next door neighbors are purely vegetarians When i fry fish,they constantly complain me that they cannot tolerate its smell Is there any way by which i can eliminate its smell. Suggestions please.... |

| Well neha, just give a try to this..... Hang a wet towel in your kitchen and it will absorb the fish's smell. you might think it as silly but just see ..... it really works Last edited by Induslady; 17th May 2006 at 11:49 PM. |

| Uma, If you are interested try making Broccoli soup. They are easy to make and very healthy. Here is the recipe... 1 medium size onion 1 pound broccoli 1L water 1 cup milk 2 tspn lemon juice 2 tspn vegetable oil salt & pepper for taste - Peel and chop the onion finely, put the oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat, add the onions and fry gently until they turn slightly brown - Wash the broccoli and cut them into tiny florets (use the tender stem as well) - Add water to the fried onions and add the broccoli florets - Bring it to boil and simmer until tender - Once the florets are cooked, add milk and heat through, do not boil - Season with salt and pepper - Remove from heat and add lime juice and blend Serve it hot and it will be delicious Note: You can use cauliflower in place of the broccoli and follow the same recipe for a delicious cauliflower soup. |

| Here is another tip to reduce bitterness in bitter guard……… Take some salt water and cut the bitter guard into this. After cutting all the pieces, squeeze the peeled bitter guard to remove the salt water. Then fry it. Bitterness will be reduced. Last edited by Induslady; 17th May 2006 at 11:50 PM. |
