I have a sticky pad stuck on the fridge - Just a bunch of post it notes, I keep adding to the list as I notice things missing and then it is easy to take it to the shop and just buy what is needed - another advantage is that I don't buy anything that is not needed :)
Kz,

hope they help
hi kz,
this happens to me too esp. if a packet is only half used. i forget this and promptly buy a fresh one. i use the giant clips that you get at the store and bunch these half opened pkts together. that way i can maintain some order . these clips r quite handy too even for closing those big chips bags.

Thankyou RP, Anoushka, Sowmeia and Rain.
How do u keep them inside the freezer? i stacked them on the freezer door, the new packets are neat to stack on top as they are flat. how do u store home cooked frozen meals?
RedPepper how do u make pasta suaces? i use tomato sauce and some herbs etc but can we freeze the sauce made out of canned tomato suace? how long do u freeze? in ziplocks or containers.

Kz: I make white sauce for pasta...
One ounce of butter + one ounce of plain flour (you can also use rice flour) together in the pan, and keep stirring it till you feel it is cooked, to it add a pinch of mustard paste or powder, a tiny bit of tomato sauce and slowly add milk and stir to avoid lumps. Cook well!
To add richness to the above sauce, u can add grated cheese after adding all the milk (i don't add tomato sauce to this one). This sauce can be mixed with pasta and some veggies and baked in the oven till the top is golden. My kids love it.
For freezing homemade things i generally don't use bags, but some freezer safe boxes that are available in the markets.
dsath: you are right, I mix the sauce with pasta and veggies add grated nutmeg, dried herbs, etc and put cheese on top and stick it in the oven till golden brown... yum :)
Can i fry paneer today and use it tomorrow for making the curry?
Thankyou Anoushka and dsath. will try the white sauce.
dsath, u can store the fried paneer in fridge for next day use.
