LIGHT READING – Corner for Fun INTERESTING TIPS  To avoid browning of apples after cutting, apply a little lemon juice on the cut surface. The apples will stay and look fresh for a longer time.  Keep coriander leaves in a cloth bag in the refrigerator. They will remain fresh for a longer time.  Add a few drops of lemon a teaspoon of oil to rice before boiling to separate each grain.  To keep the fruits and vegetables fresh for long, wrap them in newspaper before refrigerating them.  Whenever you are deep frying papads, pakodas, potato wedges or puris add pinch of salt to the oil to reduce the amount of oil absorbed by the food.  Vegetables that have been lying in the refrigerator tend to look dull and lifeless. If you want to make a salad, and need your veggies to look fresh, soak them in cold water with a few drops of lime for about 15minutes and they will look bright and delicious.  Lemons stored in a sealed jar of water will produce twice the juice. > To keep salt from clogging in the shaker, add 1/2 teaspoon of uncooked rice.
