    What do I do if I put in too much masa?

    Community Answer
    Add more "fluids" called for in the recipe (e.g tomatoes). You may even have to make up more of the recipe but without adding masa to the new batch.

  • Question
    Does matter if i let my green chilli cool down to room temperature before using corn starch to thicken it?
    Community Answer
    Yes! The cornstarch thickens the sauce by undergoing a process called gelatinisation that requires a temperature of at least 60 degrees Celsius/150 degrees Fahrenheit.
