Aai's special tips -
(1)making rough paste of onions and tomatoes in mixer (instead of cutting)will save your time as well as your task.
(2)When you put something in microwave for cooking, your hands are free, so you can do another things like cutting, chopping, grinding etc. at the same time. In this way you can do 2 or 3 things at a time and finish your cooking very fast.
