Recently I have been hooked onto the food blogs. You should try searching for them some time. They are informative, provide you a sufficient amount of visual pleasure and are a great source of time-pass. Exactly a year back I knew nothing about cooking, all I could cook was Maggie Noodles. However today I can proudly say that I can cook anything (not sure about the results, but I ain't afraid to try). This confidence does count for something right?
I get really happy feeding people and receiving compliments for my cooking! So coming to the post, all the food blogs inspired me so much so that I decided to try something of a similar nature on my blog. Now as I am an amateur and can't really do a proper post on food. So for starters I ll just let the pictures do all the talking :-)
Don't expect grandeur in the pics, the utensils are limited and the time is always tight! So there is no garnishing and no fancy china..! But decent comments are still expected.:P

This looks great, Sneha!!! I wish we could wire food without worrying it'll be spoiled on the way :p I love the sound and look of matar-paneer; totally gonna have to try that myself some time. I am okay at cooking, not yet good! I started last semester when I lived away from home but not with a mother-figure who would cook for me :D But this semester, I've been living with a friend and her mom, and her mom cooks for us :p So!!!

Congratulations on successfully discovering the 'Master Chef' in you! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the dishes look delicious and yummy!! your housemates must be lucky to have you and I bet your colleagues expect a share in your lunch box lol ;)
This is exactly the same confidence even I too achieved with cooking. As long as we live at home, mom makes life look so easy - cooking so simple, laundry so quick and cleaning so effortless!!
But once you leave home, either to work or study - you are independent, you get freedom to decide the lifestyle that suits you but you realize how difficult these tasks can get. As the saying goes, 'necessity is the mother of invention', we slowly start experimenting with cooking!!
On day one you end up with something that doesn't even look or taste like the original recipe - but slowly you improve and one fine day you are surprised at yourself, "Is it really me who cooked this? your roomies praise you for cooking delicious food". Your inner self says to you, "Now you know how to transform food items into mouth watering, lip smacking stuff, so you can survive anywhere, no matter how far you go from home" :)
Nowadays if reading about new recipes is taking more time, you tube videos can make it look simple for you. Dishes like paneer butter masala can actually be cooked so quick and easy than we could have ever imagined before attempting them!! Aaloo is my favourite too, be it matar aaloo or fries, potato cooked in any form is tasty!!
Good luck with your cooking experiments, happy food!! :)
Cheers,
Sai :)
