Its been 8years I have been in IT Industry. First two years was awesome, office work, parties and outside food, no cooking. Sounds good is it! As time flew, I realised my X axis was growing(my waiste line) and health wise I was developing gastritis due to hotel food with soda in it.
Sometimes it happened like I didn't know what to eat and which restaurant to go, and finally ended up eating rice, ghee and chutney at home or have fruit juice :). One main reason for not cooking proper home food is laziness. Kitchen was small and we didnt have helper to clean our utensils. And managing cooking and cleaning is not easy if you ask me. So I never cooked, the excuse was "I will start cooking once we move to a bigger home with bigger kitchen.It would be easy to manage". Trust me this will never happen. Small or big kitchen what matters is lil interest and lil dedication.Make up your mind and go ahead. Dedicate 1hr in morning and 1hr in evening for cooking.
How did I learn cooking? I never entered kitchen at my moms place and after 12th I was in hostel and I had never seen cooking nor I knew how to cook. While in my engineering final year, I stayed for a month in My first Bhabhis house. She thought me how to use cooker for rice and she told me easy way to cook curry. A simple vegetable with salt and her masala which did the magic. I will tell you what the magic masala was, very simple ingredient but it did add yummy taste to the curry. A simple rice, curry and omlette(learnt from my dad) made my dinner.Thats how I started cooking.
When i moved to bangalore, i stayed in my 2nd Bhabhi home who is also awesome cook, more importantly I learn how to manage time in weekdays from her. Most of the kitchen stuff that i have I have got it seeing her kitchen and also fixed menu for each day . Now I am able to manage my 2hrs cooking along with my 9-10hrs office work. So thought I would share my experience so that my neice and other people can learn something from this.
I am not a writer, so my posts will be as good as talking to home people. I will use simple vocabulary from my dictionary :)
