I have been cooking for two years yet I have never learnt to cook. Ask me to cook stories and I will merrily do so. “You never invited me for lunch,” complained a friend.
“Welcome if you have the guts to taste my food,” I challenged him.
Yesterday there was a knock on the door. He was standing there.
“Cook now,” he ordered.
“Cook what?”
“Rice and sambar (A dish made with pulses, vegetables common in south India).”
That’s child’s play. I kept rice on the cooker. “I will pick up some veggies and will be back in a minute,” I disappeared.
After a few minutes, we were on the dining table.
My friend enjoyed the food. “Brilliant boss. I did not know you could make such delicious sambar,” he showered praise on me.
I just smiled.
How could I tell him that I had purchased the “tasty sambar” from my building restaurant?
Cooking tips for learners: Don't keep the gas flame level high while cooking. If you are a man, never ask a woman cooking tips. They confuse you.
Oh! Now a days if you are able to make Curd rice, you are a good cook. So don't ask anybody cooking tips! BTW I made Sambar with drumstickm potato & tomato and, 'kovaikai' sabzi today!

ReplyDeleteThas not true Ramesh.You will find all kind of cooking ,beauty and cleanig tips on my site..
Hail to theee.... i totally, completely and unanimously agree with you...never ask a woman for cooking tips. :D
ReplyDeleteRamesh,
ReplyDeleteOnce I tried cooking and I burnt my hands, spoiled three pots, kitchen floor was stinking and no one would attempt trying apparently cooked food. That was my first and last day in kitchen. Now I am not allowed to enter in kitchen. I think my wife was equally responsible for the mess because she was gave me instructions. So I agree never take instructions from a woman.
When you can 'buy', why 'cook'?
Funny and factual post...
Hehe....
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tast it :))))
Enjoy your sunday
