Cream of tartar is best known in our kitchens for helping stabilize and give more volume to beaten egg whites. It is the acidic ingredient in some brands of baking powder. It is also used to produce a creamier texture in sugary desserts such as candy and frosting. It is used commercially in some soft drinks, candies, bakery products, gelatin desserts, and photography products. Cream of tartar can also be used to clean brass and copper cookware.
Icing made with egg whites is called royal icing.
Cream of tartar is added to give volume to beaten eggs.
Thank you. I wish I cud see it sometime so I get it better.
Btw, your hub ID makes me hungry!

The royal icing will not smell of raw eggs.
As dev tells, you will not know that egg white is added.
I am sure Kugan will come and post the picture of cream of tartar. Gulabjamun.
Yeh, my Id is very sweet

chevy, you can try some cake recipes posted by kugan... Margarine isn't good fr health...u can use any refined veg oil if u don't want to use butter...
I'm not sure abt the diff betw bk pwd and bk soda...
As for whipping fresh cream- electric beater is best unless u have lot of muscle power...:P ig ur icing turns out like a dip, I guess u need to beat more until peaks form...
and as GJ says, egg icing doesn't have egg smell...

Whipped fresh cream and i did seem quite runny and bet it for quite some time, it just seemed to get more like a smooth dip. It tasted well after chilling but left outside, it thaws and runs down.
Margarine bad for health? - Sometime ago there was this news about butter being fat and margarine being less fat and all that so I suppose I had the misconception that it was a good alternative to butter. So much that sometimes i even sauté jeera/mustard in it instead of butter for pilafs/curry.

Roshan, while I was in US, I used to string the curry leaves, wash them, dry them well. I used a moist muslin cloth, well wrung of water. line a airtight tupperware with the cloth and put the leaves in, close tightly and put it in the fridge.
It lasted fresh for about 3 weeks for me. It worked for me
My children are taught only to leave behind, chillies in their plate
Roshan do you get ridge gourd in your place.
If yes try out this recipe. Thanks, Kugan98
what is it.
