World’s Best chef is rising!
Who did you think I was referring to?Well,if you thought it was me(albeit, those who know me will never get that right)…then Congratulate yourself!I am quite excited about this skill that I m trying to acquire lately.Oh!I am so good at it!Though my mom wouldn’t mind laying down her life against this claim.She is more horrified than happy to see her little girl doing things she has been doing for 3o odd years,so creatively.Who cares if some salt goes missing and some sugar sticks on your tongue,when you dint expect it there really!
I have been making Chappatis(Circular,thin breads made out of fine ground whole wheat) and I am having blast of a time in making these..Literally so.My mom is blowing red…well,I know a woman has infinite patience,but a daughter like me makes her go beyond it…to those levels when she knows there is only God she could trust to make me wiser by half an inch.I have this gross habit of straying away from the central theme,anyways,I have also learnt to make Tea..that has been the most painful experience for me…making tea.It demands every ounce of your attention or you suffer and so do others who misdelegated this responsibility of making tea to your efficient hands.
I am an unconventional cook,who defies all laws that have come to exist in this art of Cooking!(Am I bragging over the bridge?)It really doesn’t matter to me,that it has been just about a week that I have starting frequenting the kitchen side,to help out mom with her cooking,though she complains she has had to work harder ever since altruism got the better of me…also she finds some glasswares missing,she thinks I did it(do you think,I could ever dream of doing such a thing?But I have less idea,if it fell off my hands without my knowledge and just right then I had a call to attend to and my feet shoved them under the carpet…(he he he)
My stint at cooking Dal(a preparation made out of pulses) isn’t less adventurous…I gave everybit of my mortal body to make a good(which connotes eatable-without-making-faces) Dal.HA!it looked perfect after final touchups with garnishing thing.Just so that it looked even more beautiful, I added cashews and raisins on the top(my mom almost fainted just the way you did).My dad was the first to have a go and he had a my-daughter-made-it smile on his face brimming with pride.I gave him a bowl-full of it,so that he neednt ask for more,coz its embarrassing to ask for more sometimes…But…well…umm..things didn’t go exactly my way…my dad Threw up.He didn’t want to,though.It just hit me,I hadn’t added salt,not even a grain of it,but I hadn’t forgotten Mumma’s advise of adding very little of sugar in it,so that it adds to its taste.So it seems I had come up with a new recipe-Sweet-Saltless-Dal.
But I am not going to give up..,with courage,dedication,enthusiasm and hard work…I ll come up with newer recipes like this one(Did I hear you saying…others are gonna need these dispositions as well,in order to live with your cooking?)Well,if you said that,then let me tell you,I also invite you to ascertain my credibilities…

just what i expected of you.You'd bring in creativity in whatever you do.I hope you do much more than cooking though :)Good work though.
As an aside, do watch Ratatouille.It has some connection to cooking as u can easily guess :)
