I have noticed that there are certain mistakes that we know are mistakes yet we continue to do them and then think next time i wont do it .. but the cycle never breaks … lets talk about them … accept them with pride
I will share my moms and then mine … My mom’s famous kitchen mistake :
she holds the pot while cooking , sometimes handles can become really hot, but she keeps thinking she will be able to bear the heat, and then gets a burn mark and says she wont do it again , but come next day , she does it again:mad:
and mine… I always put masala’s with my hands , dont use spoons coz I only go by andaza … come to black pepper and somehow it always always always reaches my nose and then i go around the house sneezing my heart out …
I cannot cut green chillies. They get on my hands and they BURRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! But I still cut them with my bare hands every single time...no gloves or anything. And then I do "ouch ouch" for a few hours vowing to never do it again.
I am allergic to something in the yard ,but I do not know what it is. I will go out with an intention to just look at the bushes then start working with my bare hands and they will start itching within few minutes.
Once the allergy attack was so severe that I had to go to emergency room to get steroid shot.
Only once in a while when I know that I will be working on many things and will be there for long I wear gloves.
Just like my begum. If she puts something in dish and its messes it up she goes “mujhey pata tha xxxx dish main yyy daloon gee tu yee hee ho ga” O khudaya jub pata tha tu dala keyun?
i make all sort of mistakes and love repeating again and again and again ahhh dun i just love learning again for no reason...:S (whatever that meant)
i personal one would be not to lose my temper at someone specially my sister, kuz i knw it only hurts me at the end of all those stupid fights!!!
one more would be not to cry and become emotional but cant help it!! :(
honestly spking, i dun even knw what i am writing ryt now....all of you are talking about kichetn related mistakes and am talking abt God knows what...!!
If somethings stacked up, I know everything with crumble down if I take the lowest piece out, but I still do it
I normally use kitchen scissors or on a cutting board for green chillies but sometimes in hurry I just cut it with a knife with bare hands, I know it’ll burn but I still do that.
I had one more thing in mind when I started to reply but completely forgot it.
I can’t remember what quantity I cook for how many people. Sometimes the quantity turns out to be perfect and I think, now I’ll remember how much I made but next time I forget again. It normally turns out to be more than required.
yeah , to add , I always think of writing a new recipe i tried , but forget to write it and later , I forget the recipe and when i try it , its never the same
and another one, I always promise myself that i will start using measuring spoons and cups for cooking , instead of using haat ka andaza .. but the minute i get into the kitchen, its all hands and no spoons
One thing that my mother has taught me is, that whenever you feel you haven’t put enough salt in the food thora sa aur daal diya karo, taste it and then put some more if needed.
What do I do?
I put the same amount of salt in the food again, even more than necessary sometimes.
Alhamdulillah, I think I am learning my lesson now.
