Tips
1.You can cook rice in the microwave. Depending upon the strenght of your microwave, heat from 5-15 minutes in any bowl.
 Do not use plastic bowl, it smell from heating so long
 Stir sometime in the middle making sure the bottom rice are on the top, otherwise the top will be raw.

2.You can cook potatoes in the oven by wrapping them using a aluminium foil. I think this tastes better than boiling. Set it at 350 and constantly check by poking the potato. When it's soft in the middle, it's good to go. Keep an eye or else it will burn and catch fire.Be careful.

3.Buying cilantro(Dhaniya) for evey cooking can be a pain in the ass. You can keep it fresh for weeks.using this simple trick

 Put the bundle of the cilantro inside a tea glass, so it's half submerged and fill it with water (like putting flower in a vase). If you cover the whole thing, including the glass with a plastic bag and storing in the refregirator, it's even better. Depending where you buy the cilantro, how long it will last varies. The Asian store ones( the short one) can last more than a month with this technique. But the American grocery long one can last a max of 2 week, sometime less. Make sure the glass is always filled with water.
