For Red marinades – besan
For White/green marinades – maida
2) Cook a tsp of marinade in micro wave for 5-6 sec and adjust to taste.
3) Marinade should taste strong ..as in salty sour n spicy. It mellows down when used.
4) Adding Oil to marinade, extends it’s life
5) Wash all meats/fish in water to which a tbsp of vinegar has been added. Helps remove unpleasant odors and kills germs.
6) Drain and pat-dry all meats before marination. As far as possible try to have uniform pieces of meat.
