Cooking blunders

So how many of you have done those, the latest happened to me was this weekend.I made a cilatro and mint chutney everyone ate it,on Saturday when I was putting some cilantro in salan I smelled it it didn’t feel like cilantro ,then I realized that its parsley :smack: Noone noticed it in chutney :cb: later I asked hubby he said I was thinking it tasted weird but daar laga khuch kehtay hoay masoom log
The last one was I accidentally listened to my husband :smack: I was making gulab jamun and when I was making round circles for them hubs saw them and said if you want to make more beautiful rounds add some more ghee in it ,I looked at him and I put more ghee in it, then he said a little bit more then I added again.Anywayz I heated the oil and put those chiknay beautiful rounds in oil and guess what happened? :bummer: They burst in a oil and accidentally I put around 5 or 6 of them together so what happened they were flying in the kitchen.After that I stared at hubs and he said oh I am inexperienced naa so he ran away in his room and those gulab jamuns for dawat.Then we had to order a cake later that day.After that I finally decided never to take hubs experienced mashwaras in kitchen.
So far after that all blunders have been done by moii,and whenever hubby says last time this thing tasted different and my answer is always" tumhari ammi ne tumhain 30 saal tak eik jaisay khanay khilaye hain bore ho jaatey ho so agar mein her dafa different pakati hoon to acha hai variety to hai naa" :phati:

So come here all you great experienced cooks and share your stories here.:chai:

Re: Cooking blunders

I have soooo many of those cooking blunders but can't remember one right now. thinking real hard

Once I made haleem with canned tuna but you can't really call it a blunder cause I did that on purpose and it didn't turn out so bad either, I just won't make it again.

Haleem with Tuna :hayaa: oh GOD kitni achi smell thi haleem ki

Re: Cooking blunders

Jeez, I made sarson ka saag today. It was horrible and I think it turned out bad because it was so horribly bitter. I made it before and it was good, don’t know what I did wrong today. I had to throw it out :hinna:

Re: Cooking blunders

Did some say HALEEEEEEEEM ? :mad: who made it, and you never told me :frowning: :naraz:

catastrophe? :@:

Once I used SUGAR instead of salt in chicken karahi. :bummer:

a guppy just asked me about this over the phone and I’ll tell you the same thing I told them. It acutally didn’t smell like tuna, infact agar mai khud say na batati tou andaza lagana mushkil tha. :whistling

More like experimental… :snooty:

Re: Cooking blunders

Apart from a bit high level salt in rice , nothing so far .. Alhamd:)

I am a perfectionist when it comes to such nixers .

Re: Cooking blunders

I once tried to make fresh custard. It turned out to be scrambled egg.

I once burnt popcorn too and set all the smoke alarms off in the house and caused myself an asthma attack:halo:

What else…hmmm…actually, there are too many:smack:

bhai sahab, TUNA ki haleem thi yeh!!!
Shukar karain nahin bataya :smiley:

Ume - yar Alhamdolillah apart from adding too much water in pulao once in a year I dont usually make mistakes like these… :tubelight:

Re: Cooking blunders

i think i've recorded all my cooking disasters in the food fourm.

aliyish, i feel really bad for ur wife. esp if she's a newcomer aahahhhhhhhh

Kasam say Tuna ka koi taste nahi tha uss mai. :grumpy:
Yakeen nahi aata tou khud bana k dekh lo.

hmmm come to think of it, strangely it makes sense… :hmmm: Tuna has reddidh meat, and if handled properly it CAN add that extra thickness in haleem (like they add cotton in haleem to make it thicker :whistling: )

nahin ji mujhay apni zindagi azeez hai… aisi cheezain bana ke hamain ghar badar karwana hai kia? :barbie:

Re: Cooking blunders

spent four hours making gajar ka halwa only to burn it to a dry crispy mess in the end. Still dont know where/how I went wrong.

maybe you added too much oil and bhuno it too much :hmmm:

bechaari biwi yaa us ko araam bhi miley gaa pakaye gi tum se baatein sunay gi behterhai tum paka lena sho will be lucky

to custard ko anda samjh ke khaa lena thaa

leta hoa pulao :hehe: us ke baad banaya bhi ya nahi

Now I have to go and read it in food forum:D

tum bana ker bhijwa do :stuck_out_tongue:

:hehe: chalo Xeno kisi din yeh experiment ker ke dekhna

Nahi tum miyaan ko batana hi nahi and poochna kaisi hai aaj ki haleem

May be too much bhunna

Panni nahi nikala/nichora tha kiya ubal ker:aq:
