When you cook for the first time and ur food turns out to be perfect…
are you motivated to cook more?
Do you feel satisfied with your cooking?
Do you feel happy?
and how long does it take to cook quicker?
I didnt cook for the first time but cooked after a long break of one year …made Pizza for the very first time and it turned out yummy and now I feel like I want to cook everyday till the day food turns out “not so yummy”
But im still kinda slow in the kitchen which annoys ammi so any tips on being quicker in the kitchen would be appreciated
LP ... you will automatically gain speed in cooking with time ... the more you cook the more experience you get and hence learn to focus more or less on stuff accordingly ... for example , when i was new in the kitchen , I used to keep watching the onion while frying them for fear that i will burn them or they will stick to the pan ! .... but now with time , I do all the other stuff in the kitchen while the onions are being done !
Here are a few tips :
Its the preparation and the after cleaning that takes most time , rather then the cooking itself ... So chop the onion and start the cooking process immediately ... and try to chop the rest of the vegies or clean the meat , or do the bartan when the onion is frying... its more like multitasking ...
Keep washing the bartan saat saat so they dont clog the sink ...
then there are short cuts like when you chop the onions to make masala , they take longer ..... but if you blend them coarsely they take no more then 10-15 minutes to get done .... similarly , if you add cubed tomatoes to the salan , they take longer to mix in well .. but if you blend then first and then add then in the salan ... they will take five minutes to mix in with the salan ...
If my cooking turns out rubbish, i can get quite frustrated but at the same time it pushes me to try again.
Similarly, if i cook well, it can also be a motivator for cooking more :)
for the tips…i do cut the other veggies and clean the dishes while doing the onions and other stuff…but i didnt know abt the last part …blending tomatoes
will surely try it
once again CB
abt a year bk wen i used to cook…just one thing turned out kinda not as i had expected..and tht was enuf to demotivate me
