A diet question: I am allowed only Marie biscuits, as I am on a diet. But since I love biscuits, I've been really hogging on these- I eat like 6-7 of them in a go- Q: Will I gain weight if I eat Marie Biscuits like this?

Alan, the packaging usually indicates % & grammage of carbo, fats etc., Check the label to see for per serving how much fat there is, and from there you'll know.

If you're hogging, is it bcoz your stomach is hungry or your mouth is hungry-I'm not joking, by the way..

Yes, I understand- I should be having just 2 but I keep having these- I think I have lost my will power- *sigh*- I love munching , so I guess the mouth or rather the 'mind' is 'hungry! lol!

I made some murruku and left some of the maavu in the fridge and it became sour. Can i do something else with the maavu or just throw it in the bin?

No problem dsath,

Add a pinch of soda if the mavu is less , a little more if it is more. Mix it well . Prepare the murukkus as you did before. They will come out crisp and will taste good and not sour.

I have made aloo palak just twice and both the times it came out well except for the 'raw taste' of palak.

I boiled the Palak (not in Pressure Cooker)really well, ground it and then added to the spluttered jeera & sauted onions and again stirred for 20-25 mts. Then added the masalas , water and boiled potato pieces and kept on fire until the mixture boiled really well. Yet, it has a slight raw taste of Palak but the Aloo Palak or Paneer Palak got from hotels do not have this taste.

What is that I must've missed to add?
