I have never really been an “in-the-kitchen” person…part reason for my childhood dream of marrying a chef!

I am a foodie, a hard-core one at that and it feels strange that I don’t have the urge to actually get into the mood to whip up something delicious! While I really want to, I’m far too lazy and would rather survive on pizza or maybe chinese take away!

But, being in a traditional telugu household + having a boyfriend who thinks that its absolutely necessary for me to cook, has made me (if only very reluctantly) venture into unknown territory – the kitchen! Its been a couple of days since I’ve started helping out mom with lunch and dinner. Only cutting and chopping,mind you, I’m too much of a novice to get any better than that in a couple of days!

Anyways, my mom is an amazing cook, and i’m hoping that by some miracle, the “cooking gene” has somehow gotten to me and is in its dormant stage right now.

Today was my first real experiment in the kitchen, where I made a prawn + egg curry! And no matter what I just can’t seem to figure out how much salt or mirchi I need to put into anything…so well, it turned out quite ok…ok enough for me to not give up yet and maybe try again

More kitchen (mis)adventures for later
