Old School Hacks for Reheating Frozen Food
Sometimes, your microwave might break down, or you might not have one.
Luckily, there are easy ways to heat up your frozen food using old-fashioned methods!
For curries, you can use a kadhai (a type of pan) with a little water.
For parathas, a tawa (griddle) works best, making them crispy.
If you have time, you can simply let your food sit at room temperature for about an hour.
Also, steaming is a great way to bring frozen dishes like dal or khichdi back to their normal consistency.
