My experiments with cooking :-D

This is my first blog so thought il write something which I have been trying since many days but not yet successful and thats cooking :-D. I think all girls of my age and who are working will agree with me that cooking is boring and will not step into the kitchen until and unless its necessary. But since a few days cos my mom has been shouting at me that I dono anything except few basic things like tea,coffee,rice ;-) I thought let me try cooking and since then my view about cooking has been changing :)

Saturday afternoon is the time when i cook if im at home and have no other plans, I take a small nap after lunch and sometime in the late afternoon is when i cook. Thanks to my friend who introduced me to a few sites of cooking, browsing those sites is when i got interest to cook seeing all the delicious recipes posted there :D.

So here are a few things which i tried:
Gobi Manchurian : Thanks to aayisrecipes, my first experiment was quite good. Even though it dint taste as good as the ones in hotels it was not that bad also. It dint turn out to be as crisp as expected and had a lot of tomato sauce :D. Taste was quite good and i ate half of what was prepared as i was the only one at home. Mom and dad also liked it and after that i got gyaan from Mom as to wat was missing and wat was extra :).

Cabbage curry, Capsicum bajji and Shavige kheer: These 3 dishes were my next experiment. When my mom had work on Sunday till afternoon I thought let me give a small surprise by preparing lunch but it turned to be a bad suprise :(. Cabbage was not cooked properly, Capsicum bajji was not fried properly but Shavige payasa was yum :D. Hence we landed up having lunch outside and the desert at home ;-). But then my dad has been supportive telling only if u try ul learn :D. Mom keeps telling "Ur a 23 yr old girl and this is wat u cook" :P

Dates kheer: By this time everyone at home realised im very bad at cooking so I had to change their view somehow so started trying simple dishes first. Dates Kheer was one such dish which was very simple to prepare and had a good taste. But again anything which i cook cant be perfect so it was too thick for a kheer but tasty :)

Oats Kheer: This is yet another simple dish which i tried but turned out to be very good and with high nutritional value and everyone loved it at home.

So now i can tell im preparing dishes which are edible ;). Anyone who wants recipes of the above can contact me :D. Will try to take pics of my new experiments and post them :).
