Testing salt (NIMMA UPPU)

Key highlights;

1. Start with a small amount: When testing salt, it's best to start with a small pinch or sprinkle. You can always add more if needed.

2. Taste it directly: To get a true sense of the saltiness, taste a small amount of salt on its own. This will give you a baseline to compare with when testing it on other foods.

3. Use neutral foods: When testing salt, it's best to use neutral foods like boiled rice or plain crackers. This allows you to focus on the saltiness without any other flavors interfering.

4. Gradually add salt: If you're testing salt in a recipe, add it gradually and taste as you go. This way, you can adjust the saltiness to your preference.

5. Consider the overall flavor balance: Remember that salt is not the only flavor in a dish. Consider how the salt interacts with other flavors and how it affects the overall taste.
