Shopping Tips - I
Always prepare a shopping list to avoid over buying based on instinct or under buying and missing out the necessary things. Clean your refrigerator and pantry once in a month before preparing a shopping list.
Always be sure to check the expiry dates of products. Purchase large quantities only if you are sure to finish it within the date.
While buying mutton, get a smaller animal. The meat will be pinkish and not dark red. This will ensure tender meat when cooked.
When buying produce, look for its freshness. Do not purchase if it doesn't look bright and firm.
Choose brinjals (eggplant) that are lighter. Heavier ones are more mature with many seeds and the brinjals will also taste bitter.
If you are not able to find fresh herbs, you can buy dried ones. However, you have to use very sparingly as dried herbs have a stronger aroma.
