Brilio.net - For some people, cooking is a fun and enjoyable activity. The reason is that when cooking, a person can be more creative, from determining recipes to processing food. For example, combining certain spices so that the taste of the dish is just right and delicious according to taste. Feelings of happiness can also appear when the food you make is ready.
However, there are times when your mind is less focused when cooking, so you add the wrong amount of spices to your dish. For example, the initial dose should include half a spoonful of spices, but instead it's already 2 spoonfuls. If it's like this, it could cause panic.
Not a few people often mismeasure types of spices such as salt. As a result, the food becomes salty and not tasty. When cooking is salty, people usually choose to add sugar and water, so that the salty taste can be reduced. Not only that, you can also use potato slices. Reporting from eatwell101.com, potatoes contain starch which can absorb the salt content in cooking.
However, unlike netizen Instagram user @lie_denielcandra, he has other ingredients that are considered more effective for making salty dishes delicious again. In the video, the netizen wants to reduce the salty taste of dishes made with coconut milk. Well, the ingredient in question is cucumber that has been cut into pieces. Not only does it add a fresh taste to dishes, cucumber is also believed to be able to neutralize the salty taste. Curious about how?

No need to peel, first cut the cucumber into medium sized pieces. Then add it to the vegetables you are making. Cook while continuing to stir for a few minutes.

Then correct the taste and the cucumber can be set aside if you have succeeded in overcoming the saltiness of the dish.
"Your cooking is salty, don't add sugar, add cucumber slices and your cooking will be delicious again and not salty," he said, as reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @lie_denielcandra, Friday (14/6).
