Fresh vegetables for the week : one tip for using fresh leafy vegetables and herbs- always wash and clean them before storing them away. Wrap in paper towels and put them in ziplock bags. Although it’s easy to just put everything in the fridge, some like tomatoes (yes o know it is technically a fruit) need to be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Potatoes stay 2-3 months in a cool dark cupboard (although truth be told, they don’t last very long in our house!). Onions on the other hand should be stored in a cool dry and dark place to keep them from sprouting. While celery stays 1-2 weeks in the fridge, broccoli is better eaten within 3 days. Did you know you should store vegetables and fruits separately? Many fruits give off a natural gas called ethylene that helps them ripen, but can cause many vegetables spoil faster. When I have a huge batch of fresh spinach that I do not need straight away, I triple wash them, chop them up and pop it in the freezer. That way when I need them, it can go straight into the dish. If o have the time o sometimes purée and store too. What are your cooking tips you use around the kitchen that you swear by? #sarchakra #kitchentips

Keema Matar- simple no-gimmicks home food. No fancy ingredients- just the usual onion, ginger, garlic and dry roasted spices made at home to give that amazing burst of multilayered flavor. Green peas adds some fiber to the dish and is best served with pau which was also homemade. Some days more fuss is made with food than other days. There are days when no cooking happens cos Mum’s kitchen is closed and that’s ok. But not today 😍 Do you cook everyday or do you take a break? #sarchakra #keemacurry

Couscous Salad: this salad tastes OUT OF THIS WORLD -not kidding- I posted this on my blog @cooklybooklyhq a little while back but it didn’t make it to this platform until now - I do that a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️ Trust me, this is one recipe you will go back to over and over again. It tastes so good the day you make it and a couple of days later too. So cold lunches? You got it! #sarchakra #couscous

What is the one ingredient you use the most in your kitchen? For me it is tomatoes- fresh ripe tomatoes. Garlic does follow closely but I use tomatoes nearly everyday I cook, in at least one if not more recipes. Tomatoes are rich in nutrients like vitamin C, folate, potassium, vitamin K as well as antioxidants including beta carotene and lycopene. Although there are different varieties of tomatoes like plum, heirloom, beefsteak, Campari, brandywine, pear tomatoes etc., I don’t have a special preference. However I do have just a little extra love for the aesthetic beauty of cherry tomatoes on the vine, especially in pasta dishes . For soups and curries I mostly use Roma or plum tomatoes, for salads grape tomatoes work so well and so forth. What can you use tomatoes for - dips, salads, sauces, salsa, pasta, sandwiches, bruschettas, soups, as a snack, on pizzas, in pies, in cocktails, for grilling, roasting, pickling and even in beauty. Did you know tomatoes are an excellent astringent and soothes your skin in acne or sunburn? What is your favorite way to use a tomato? #sarchakra #tomatoes
