The Culinary Fad

Staying alone is the best thing that has ever happened to me. All because for my love of cooking. It is such a wonderful experience to see your hobby growing and having been put to good use. I thought I was a wonderful cook. But doing everything right from the beginning isn't so intereseting. It's actually quite tiresome. The cutting part especially. It's tacky too ! But when the whole food comes to life, it's all worth the effort.

I never realised Indian cooking would be such a challenge. Actually, you have to keep a perfect balance between all the spices and an amateur like me just rolled out some of the world's biggest disasters. Hell, I thought roasting, baking would be challenge! But it's seriously not. I would have been so happy to bake out a cake in Delhi, actually boasted about it incessantly but seriously, Daal-subji is no less than baking, mind you.

I don't know what's wrong with Lumia's camera while clicking pictures at shorter distances, but believe me these dishes looked much better than they do here.

  1. Awesome.
    Roti ( and its descendants) seems to be common in all. But still, great work dude.
    Keep it up.
    May be one day, I might catch you on TV teaching culinary techniques. :P

  2. With a bit of practice, I am sure anyone can cook. It is not that big a deal.

    But watching the pics, I see onion pieces and chutney etc., and it goes on to show that you really love the cooking. Kudos to you!

  6. Being bachelor makes you learn/adapt many things ans cooking is one of them.

    Btw, I hope you are good in making rotis and paranthas because that's the biggest challenge for me till now.
