Over-Salted Your Food? These Tips Will Come To Your Rescue

Yuck. Too salty! It’s heartbreaking when you’ve spent an hour to prepare a meal, and hear those words. Most of us have been there, and it truly undermines the effort. Here we have some easy rescue for those tough days. Browse through these easy tips for your salty problems.

Wheat Flour Dough

A small ball of wheat flour added to the curry for 10-15 minutes can help resolve this hassle. Wheat flour dough has salt sucking abilities.

Vinegar And Salt

To even out the salt, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar along with a tablespoon of sugar to the gravy.

Raw Potato

Chop a few slices of raw potato and put them in your curry. It will absorb excess salt from the curry. Let the potato sit in for about 10 minutes and then discard those slices before serving.

Onion

Peel and chop a raw onion and put it in the curry for a few minutes. Take it out and enjoy your meal!

Curd

Adding 1-2 tablespoon of curd or malai in your curry will neutralise the excess salt, and will give your dish a subtle taste as well!

Tomato

Another fix is to add finely chopped tomatoes or tomato puree and cook for a few minutes more!
