When Kuttu Became the Cook!

 My dashboard has witnessed many a blogs on books, on book reviews, on movies, on random thoughts and the list goes on! However, I found my blognergy losing and reach point zero within the 3rd or 4th post. The realization hit me hard! I am not born to write on events, books and the newspaper kinda stuff – that’s what I do for a living, but for a hobby nothing can be filling than writing an all-food blog!

Till this January, I was a I-know-how-to-cook and what-to-add kinda girl, because I have seen my mom cooking and I knew by heart how to prepare biriyani, when to add masalas, coconut oil for beef, sameside stirring, smell to taste, and the like. But only when I was given the chattagam and chatty did I realize theory is not all! It is practical that matters. Not that practical is quite new to me – I have taken practical classes in our kitchen – however there I had mummy supervising and helping me out with generous tips. But at the in-laws place I am a know-it-all and wouldn’t it sound bad if I go asking doubts? Anyways my first practicals (Akale-akale) didn’t disappoint me, not tummies either! The impression was made!

Now is the real testing phase of my life – I reached Doha, Qatar and have only my hubby to cook for! But that’s the worst part – I was often reminded of the adage on the “way to mans’ heart”!!! if not now, NEVER! So I googled, googled and googled and was please to see a big group of foodbloggies – cooking and serving round the clock!

The adage did work out! Thanks to all the bloggers! Now that I have passed the test, its time to think back – the paths followed and the blogs read! It would be real bad, if I don’t show my gratitude! I made up my kitchen, cleared my dashboard of old blogs and set an online space for my kitchen!
