Answered by kashfafaisalkhan

the butter is melted .onion and vegetables are cooked in it for 3 minutes.flour and stock is added.it is brought to a boil while stirring continuously

TPS: are added, not is added

kashfafaisalkhan: is because both are uncountable and we use singular verb with uncountable noun

kashfafaisalkhan: that's why "is"

TPS: but those are two items, right?

kashfafaisalkhan: then what

kashfafaisalkhan: our idea is same

TPS: when two subjects are joined by 'and', they act as plural

TPS: exception: when two things are taken as one, they act as singular...... for example, in the saying, time and tide waits for none; ' time and tide' act as singular

TPS: Or 'rice and dal' is also taken as one.... but

TPS: i dont think thats happening here
