2. For Biryani Rice
To make biryani, we cook it on a low flame, which usually means the rice gets stuck to the bottom of the pan. For which, you can keep a tawa below the pan. I've given that tip in all of my biryani videos but even if you do that, sometimes the rice may stick to completely get rid of that problem. Cut thin slices out of a potato lay them on the bottom of the pan, the rice won't stick at all! and your biryani will be amazing and won't be burnt at the bottom. Great!

When we get a bunch of bananas, they rot quickly because bananas release ethylene which rots them really quick. For this, separate them and cover the top of every banana with a silver foil paper, make sure that the banana's top is covered with foil completely. You can store them for longer they won't rot that quickly.
9. To store Curry leaves.
To store curry leaves, wash them and dry them up with a paper towel or kitchen towel. Than moisture should vanish and they should be completely dry, put them in an air tight glass container.

10. To make a perfect Paneer at home
When we make paneer, it may not always be as soft as the one you get at the market or it may smell a bit. To make paneer, let milk boil switch off the flame. When it is boiled, add lemon juice or you can add vinegar, mix well and you'll see that the water has separated from the paneer. Place a filter on a bowl, or place a kitchen towel on top of that and filter out the paneer from the water. Squeeze out the remaining water and dont throw away this water. You can prepare whole wheat flour doughs with it or put it in a curry. You can use it for baking or to make upama! it's a very nutritious item, store it in your refrigerator. Wash the paneer with chilled water, so it gets really soft and it doesn't have a lemony or tangy smell. Now place any heavy weight on top of it(over the cloth) and within a few minutes, market like paneer is ready!.

You can just pour hot water into a glass, discard it and cover the butter with the glass for about 1-2 minutes. It'll come down to room temperature due to the steam inside the glass.
