Freezing Vegetables

Contributor: Usha
When ever you freeze any raw vegetable, vaatini oka 2 minutes boiling water loo vunchali... then immediately drain the water and run it in cold water. Or ok abowl ice cubes and cold water teesukoni, aa bowl hee par boiled vegetables veyyali.

Two minutes boiling water loo enduku veyadam anti, it will kill teh ripening agents from teh vegetable. Immediately putting it cold water is to stop the cooking of the vegetable.

Raw vegetables as it is freeze chestee, they don't last long.. freezer loo vunna, slow go ripe avutu rot avutai. I saw this tip on a cooking show long time ago. India loo fresh green peas, green chana, anupakaya my mom elaga freeze chstundh.. nene chepa elacheyamni and baagane vuntai...
