"Stop eating now"..."u cannt hog like this....","bad for waiste line"..."WILL YOU STOP EATING NOW........."
gulpppp....n i did though i so wanted to eat more...!! I wont say it was the best things i have eaten so far in life...bt yaa it was one of the best..!! n the fact that i prepared it....makes it even more special..bt c my darn irritating conscience..always knocks at the wrong time... !!
Well cooking is one thing which i always shy away with....!! Who has the patience to select all the grocery..stand in queue to pay for it...carry the heavy packet home...stand in the kitchen for hours...chopping things...then watching them boiling...measuring the amount of spices u hv to put...ur heart missing a beat when u realise that u forgot to put salt...or u hv put more than is required !! A sudden depression grips my heart when i realize that sumwhere my measurement of salt went wrong...i hate that sinking feeling !! Some ppl call cooking an art...well...always debatable...!! Well the phrase that beauty is skin deep...is equally debatable when we mortals often run for appearances only...
Bt there r sum sad facts..we need to eat to live....n we cannot always eat outside..so WE NEED TO COOK ....
I opened the fridge...1 tomato...few pieces of cauliflower, 1 carrot, half cut delapidated bringal!! Now what will i cook with that..."sumthing is always possible.."(my irritating soul again)...bt there r no potatoes, n a conventional sabji requires that, lets buy sum food..."how abt a cocktail sabji"....eekkks...it always says rt things at wrong time..ok boss...no option left..."So lets cook"....yaa instead why nt slap u hard...
hhmm all vegetables chopped...vessel...simmering oil..all spices kept aside...will mix things in sequence a particular sequence...onion..tomato..chilli...carrot..bringal..capsucum..gobi...then spices!! Sequence is based on the fact...NO FACT :-D !! i mixed everything n yupp leave it to cook for sumtime...!! bt wait a sec...my heart skipped a beat..i forgot SALT...open the lid of cooker bac...thankfully its nt late...i added salt...went thru the checklist...yes everything s just perfect...!! now relax till it gets cooked...
the aroma is amazing...n my conscience s all in praise for me...
I take the stuff out in serving bowl...taste it...WOW...i m so proud of myself...this is one of the best things i hv tasted so far..."But u shud have put a bit less oil..." aahhhh.....how i wish i cud shut this thing off....

i have reverted it bac...saved it...republished..bt guess it takes sum time to reflect the change
yaa neha dance sequence in particular of govinda n karishma movies were so infectious and unique :)!!
:-O daily account...u'll go crazy listening to the experiments i do when i m cooking..!!
i turn into a scientist when cooking...for eg...some vegetables hv lot of water content so one need nt put water...or there has to be sequence in which vegetables should be put in when making curry...which r hard r put first..
phew...i hardly knw cooking...i missed on a crash course by my mom also...so just managing..!!
try out this...tip...try n sprinkle some juice over a curry...it gives a nice aroma n taste :)

God, not only do we share the same name and sign, same dislikes too!
