Tasty foods on slow flame- स्वाद की बात !

           The taste of food is not only due to its ingredients and different spices. One may add different ingredients and costly spices to make tasty food but in the end, it may not taste great. Not everyone can make good dishes. Why?

            Some people say that cooking with love makes food great. I have observed it minutely over the years and found that good cooking needs patience. And good cooks make it a habit. Patience is required to make dishes over slow flames which is the key factor to great taste. It takes time and sometimes it is boring. I have seen my grandmother cooking. She burnt straws (पुआल) as fuel which was in plenty there. Straws burnt quickly and she used to push them at regular intervals into the oven to keep them burning. Its flame was slow and took time to cook food but the taste was awesome, be it pulses or vegetables. 
              Even without many ingredients, slow cooking enhances the taste. For example, take the case of fried potatoes. With some mustard oil and salt, cook it over slow flame keeping covered and stirring at some intervals. In the end, you will find tasty fried potatoes (आलू भाजा / भुजिया). 
                   Though some dishes require many spices and ingredients but sometimes too many different flavors mixed together have not that much-expected result.
                Another factor to great taste is fresh vegetables or spices. It is even more desirable to have organic things.

                Apart from great taste foods cooked over slow flame is more healthy. If using less oil for health reasons, slow cooking is a good option. Cook slowly but cover it, to make vegetables soft. Check regularly so that it does not stick to the pan. Stir regularly.
              Not only vegetables you may try it with omelets. Cook it over a slow flame and cover it fully with a steel plate. You will get a tasty and fluffy omelet.
