Living Foodz, a premium food and lifestyle channel.
Saving precious time and simplify cooking for busy homemakers, we would like to share a few hacks or tarkeebs by Chef Pankaj Bhadouria from her show, ‘The Dream Kitchen’, on Living Foodz.
I have shared step-by-step hacks for specific ingredients or dishes, along with the images.
It would be great if you could feature these hacks in a story and attribute this to the channel.
We would also be happy to provide more hacks or tarkeebs from Chef Pankaj and the various chefs of Living Foodz.
TARKEEB 1 : ANDE KE FUNDAY
Place the eggs one-by-one in a glass bowl filled with water. Good, fresh eggs will settle at the bottom, while the bad eggs rise up to the surface. This makes it easy to select the good eggs for cooking a dish.
Break the egg in a small glass bowl. The pieces of the broken shell which slip into the bowl along with the egg can be removed with the shells itself. Take either one of the halves of the shell and scoop out the broken pieces with the the help of the shell.
While breaking an egg into a glass bowl, crack it open carefully in a way to hold the half shells of the egg close and let the egg-white slip into the bowl. To separate the egg-yolk from the remaining egg-white fluid in the shells, pour it from one shell into the other and repeat till the yolk is left in any one shell.
TARKEEB 2 : WATERMELON KEG
Use a sharp knife and slice out a small slab from the bottom of the watermelon, to create a stand with the fruit.
From the top of the watermelon, cut out a slightly large slab and scoop out the inside of the watermelon into a bowl. Scoop out the fruit from inside with care, but not till the bottom, to keep a thick layer intact at the bottom maintaining the balance and allowing the watermelon the stand tall as a keg
Fit a tap into the watermelon on the side, towards the bottom. Fill the hollow space in the fruit with a juice of your choice.
Open the tap and place a glass right below it – Enjoy a drink from your newly-made Watermelon Keg!
