Uses of food powder?

Food powders are a convenient and nutritious addition to any kitchen.

Looking to enhance the taste of a dish? Food powders can be a game changer. Here’s how you can use them into your daily cooking:

1. Enhancing Curries and Gravies

Food powders like tomato, spinach, or carrot can easily be added to curries, dals, and gravies for extra flavor. Simply mix a tablespoon of the powder with water to form a paste and stir it into your curry.

Tip: Tomato powder thickens the gravy beautifully.

2. Boosting Chapati and Paratha Dough

Mixing food powders like beetroot, spinach, or carrot into your chapati or paratha dough can enhance the flavour. This is a great way you can make your kids eat those vegetables without any nakhre (tantrum).

How to use: Add a tablespoon or two of your chosen food powder to the wheat flour, mix, and knead into a dough.

3. Making Healthy Soups

Food powders make soup preparation easier and quicker. Add a spoonful of mixed food powder like carrot, beetroot, or pumpkin into your soup base for extra thickness. 

Quick Soup Idea: Add tomato powder, a pinch of garlic powder, cumin seeds, and black pepper to boiling water for an instant tangy soup!

4. Sprinkling Over Snacks

Vegetable powders like garlic, onion, or spinach can be sprinkled over popcorn, namkeen, or roasted peanuts for a healthier snack option. You can also sprinkle them on chaat, pakoras, or even sev puri for a twist.
