Since my teenage, I have never helped my mother in the kitchen. She used to complain saying, am irresponsible when it comes to household chores. I do help my mother by cutting vegetables just for her sake. But you can find neatness and say 80% of perfection in my work though I don't know to cook (before marriage), and I get appreciated by her.
My husband is a verrryy good eater. He doesn't dislike or waste food. He was in U.S. for more than a year and a half before we got married. So all he had to do is prepare 'something' for his croaking stomach in the name of cooking :P. Soon after we got engaged, he kept asking if I know to cook or at least learn to cook somehow. I didn't take his word seriously. But I knew that, 'the day' is not so far.
And came the day where I had to prepare lunch for us from the scratch. I was like, 'what am I gonna do now :('. Luckily, I had a notebook in which I noted down some of the basic recipes from my mother. Few hours later, in my dining table the lunch was ready to eat.
My husband always comes home with hunger which made me more nervous. Once he came in, he said 'ada! nalla manakardhey' (Wow! Smells so good). I didn't know how to take his words. I was thinking, if he was giving sweet talks like everyone does when they are newly weds :P.
Okay! Its lunch time!
I was eager to know his genuine opinion about my cooking. He said that I have a good 'kai manam'. I was a bit relaxed and satisfied that he liked my cooking. My honest opinion about my cooking on the very first day was, both the sambar and rasam looked alike :P. But the taste and aroma was good.
I said to myself that I need to improve a lot. And its been a year since we got married. Of course, I have improved a lot because I love to cook and I put all my life to make it perfect. My hubby likes my cooking but always adds 'enga amma samaikara maadhiri varadhu'. Thats true. She is cooking since she was a small girl. I should never be compared with her's ;).
Looking forward to learn her way of cooking :). Btw, I will be posting some of my recipes in the upcoming blogs. So keep reading!
Eat healthy food and take good care.
