- Use the water strained from the curdled milk (paneer) to soak your dull silvers for 15-20 minutes. Wash well. They will shine like new.
- Use clean skins of boiled potatoes to place as a soothing pack over eyes to refresh and reduce their puffiness.
- If there is a lot of leftover paneer crumbs, dry in a warm oven. Fry till crisp and store in the fridge. Soften in boiling water, drain and add to thicken gravies of any vegetables and curries.
- Make tomato puree in bulk. Transfer to ice cube trays and freeze. Put the frozen cubes in a thick polythene bag. Store in the freezer and use reddy puree cubes as required. Will keep for over 3 weeks in the freezer.
- Give a nice big bright star on your kiddies' room calender every day that he cleans out his lunch box fully!! See his enthusiasm soar.
- Use minimal of wrappers, foils, etc. which they may litter or make messy if wrongly handled.
- Replace sweets and candy with a few dry fruits like almonds, etc. for after lunch munching. So much healthier.
- Try substituting kids' lunch bag with lemonade instead of water once or twice a week. They'll be thrilled.
- Rub a piece of lime (used) inside the lunch box to get rid of strong odours (like garlic) before rinsing off.
