Well there are so many skills which I have learned recently but one of which I want to master is my cooking skills. As I got to know that being a female it is an obligation to every woman in India that they have to cook for themselves as well as to serve their family. They need to prepare different lunch, breakfast and dinner all the time of meal. Recently my mother taught me about basic recipes and steps you need to follow to make any curry. She told me that you need to organize, gather all veggies according to different curries, recipes, kizis. Then you have to keep it aside and wash it completely. She told me a different. I got to know even after getting all these steps I am not able to do it to my potential. Sometimes I put salt too much or else it gets spicy or otherwise I am not able to maintain the consistency and that time my mother told me that just go on practicing, do acid use, put acid use efforts on this and regularly you prepare one or two dishes and take time to prepare it then you would be able to. Moreover she told me that other steps you can just go and view YouTube videos and then you just practice it furthermore I tried my own recipes I tried to garnish my food with some Coriander leaves or spices which allowed me to master in this particular skill day by day and now I can prepare food for 30 to 35 members at a time with complete deliciousness. I can’t provide them that taste which they got in restaurants.

Well, there are so many skills that I have learned recently, but one that I want to master is my cooking skills. I realized that being a female, it is an obligation for every woman in India to cook for themselves as well as to serve their family. They need to prepare different lunches, breakfasts, and dinners all the time. Recently, my mother taught me about basic recipes and the steps you need to follow to make any curry. She told me that you need to organize and gather all the veggies according to different curries and recipes. Then you have to set them aside and wash them completely. She told me something different. I found that even after learning all these steps, I am not able to do it to my potential. Sometimes I put in too much salt, or it gets too spicy, or I am unable to maintain the consistency. At that time, my mother told me to just keep practicing, put in the effort, and regularly prepare one or two dishes, taking the time to do it, and then I would improve. Moreover, she suggested that I could watch YouTube videos to practice further. I also tried my own recipes and garnished my food with coriander leaves or spices, which has allowed me to improve in this particular skill day by day. Now, I can prepare food for 30 to 35 people at a time with great taste. I can't provide them with the same taste they get in restaurants.
