Cooking for Dummies

Hi people..

I am planning to start a blog for people like me who want to eat good home cooked food but don't know the basics. It has been a long but amazing journey of cooking new dishes, learning from the bad ones and enjoying the good ones.

I started cooking after I got married. Initially The question "What to cook tomorrow ?" used to keep me awake at nights. Recipes over the net though yummy to look were not easy enough to make when you are rushing to office and time is limited. Innovation and fun are totally absent when you open your refrigerator and you find 4 beans and 2 old ,shriveled carrots.

The 1st mantra we need to learn is - "Cooking is NOT difficult". Rarely do kitchen accidents happen like the ones they show on TV. Most of us don't know how to even open a pressure cooker. You might think what kind of idiot does not know this. Believe me, there are a lots of simple souls out there who don't know like me.

I am planning to post a simple,easy recipes or just kitchen tips daily. Simple things like Rasam or all time favourite - Curd Rice.

As this is my first post, I will just start with a tip.

Tip: Always have Onions, Tomato,Green chilli and Garlic at home.

Through this week I will concentrate on dishes which only use the above 4 vegetables.

Thanks for your time and happy cooking..
