Q I want to stock up on pre-marinated meats. What options would you recommend?
—Daksh, Delhi
It’s always good to keep pre-marinated meats because it gives you an extra edge if you’ve to make a last-minute meal. I marinate meat at home, and so can you. Depending on your spice levels, make a basic marinade with ginger, garlic, yoghurt, turmeric, red chilli, coriander, some garam masala, black pepper, salt and lemon juice. It works well with chicken and mutton. With fish, you can also add amchur powder. If I want to buy, I get Licious and Meatigo delivered at home.
Not irreplaceable
Q What can I replace potatoes with?
—Kavya, via Email
Arbi is a good substitute for sabzi and dosa stuffing. Treat it like potatoes—boil and work with it. Turnip is a good winter option. Taro roots are great for chips given their high starch content. You can also braise and mash kohlrabi or ganth gobi.
