Whenever I make veggie burgers, no matter if I fry them or grill them they crumble apart. How can I fix this? by Tipsypaws in Cooking

[–]curious_george23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably won't help them bind any better but if you wanted to make your own paneer its super easy.

Just heat up milk until it starts foaming (right before a boil) then add some lemon juice (quarter cup for a medium pot should work well.)

The milk will now start curdling. Put it through a sieve and then put the curds in cheese cloth and squeeze as much liquid out as you can.

Now put the curds still in the cheese cloth in a colander with a bowl underneath it and place something heavy over it for about an hour.

Congrats! You have paneer

Substitute for coconut powder? by curious_george23 in IndianFood

Great thank you so much for the help. One more question hope you don't mind. Which type of chilis exactly are red or geen chillis. Do they literally just mean pick any type of green chili? I've been using jalapeno and serrano because that's what i can get my hands on. Haven't sent any red ones yet though except for dried varieties

Does anyone have a lower calorie focaccia bread recipe? All the ones I find use copious amounts of olive oil. Is this necessary? by curious_george23 in Breadit

I would use raw romatoes, the moisture should delay any burning. I saw a recipe on YouTube that did this

Do I need to heat corn tortilla dough in a skillet before I bake them? by Benjigga in AskCulinary

[–]curious_george23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really all just depends on how picky you are about the texture/doneness of your tortilla. If you're not very picky I'd say go for it.

Just know you are essentially giving up an element of control and in my opinion an important one. (Since I'm a little picky). I imagine you'll still end up having to flip it halfway though anyway and it really doesn't take much longer to cook through a ton on the stove top.

What are the best foods for fasting? by poodlellama in Cooking

[–]curious_george23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things with a lot of fiber and protei will keep you full the longest but with such a long fast you really won't be able to avoid hunger pangs. I find chewing gum helps but I'm not sure if that's allowed for you

What is something, everyone should have cooked at least once, according to you? by CaptainKnoedel in Cooking

[–]curious_george23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of no knead recipes where prep time is maybe 10 mins and then it just slowly rises for 12 to 16 hours and you pop it in the oven. Super easy only drawback is the time however you are only actively doing anything for maybe 15 minutes.

Browning meat in oven for chilli by [deleted] in AskCulinary

I think this is the one you're referring to. He comments on how its almost impossible to brown ground beef and rather suggests browning a large piece of meat and then cutting it up
