LP , each person’s cooking is unique … wo kete hai na haat haat ki baat hai
Secondly when you cook consistantly, over a span of few years , you get experienced and eventually no matter what you make , it will come out good… Mom’s are experienced by the time you start to compete with them
The ingredients arent the only thing that make a recipe complete , alot of things matter like what pot you use, how much heat you give and when , what spices you put early on in the dish , which ones you add later etc etc … all these things are learnt with experience …
yeah it takes experience.
i used to take ages to make just one dish when starting out, now i can have 2-3 on the go at the same time,
still not as fast as my mum but getting there LOL
we can make exactly the same dish with the same techniques and it will taste different.
