Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
Adding half a bottle of what I thought was soy sauce to a chicken stir-fry. Turned out to be Sesame oil. TRULY THE MOST DISGUSTING SUBSTANCE ON EARTH IF U USE MORE THAN 1 DROP.
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
Ooo Sesame oil is potent stuff…must’ve tasted yucky RH!!
TLK… why am i not surprised.. 
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
Sugar in chicken karahi, instead of salt. :hinna:
One afternoon when cooking paaye, added penalty of water and went out with friends. Came back after 4 hrs only to find out that I forgot to turn the hob ON. 
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
how did you get the two mixed up?!
So it was sweet chilli chicken… did it taste nice?
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
Oh I can do anything. 
I can even burn an egg when BOILING it. (did once) :hinna:
Salt and sugar were in identical plastic jars. naak: it tasted THAI. 
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
it happened twice. I put spoon full of salt in chai, instead of sugar … realized at 1st sip 
I once bought half pumpkin thinking it was cantaloupe. 
I did that once whilst making Mr Maroush’s tea… and it was not by accident 
Xeno, burning things… you and me both :hinna:
Occasion: First day of my wife with me in US as she flown in from Pakistan. (due to her documents problem she joind me couple of months later)
She was tired and changing/freshening up when I decided to make tea for her. By mistake I put 1 tspn sugar in her cup twice instead of 1 in each cup.
She started to take T and i was like “Chaiee sahee banee hai?”
She (most probably does not want to disappoint me): “yeah XXXX theek hai ..aap itnee HEE sugar laiteey hain chaiee main?”
Me: (no idea yet whats wrong as I still have to take first sip of my T): yeah itnee hee laita hoon Ziada sugar is not good anyway. Bus eik chaiee banana hee tu seekha hai main nai
Later on when i took 1 sip of my T i figured it out and she was like “naah… chaiee banana bhee nahee seekha”
She still embarrass me occasionally repeating the incident. 
awww thaz sooo sweet. its the thot that counts

Re: Silly mistakes while cooking

Was is the operative word here 
Decent6C: What a cute story! 
Ouch! 
I’ve done the same thing many a time… but i use my dimaagh and put the iron on a reasonably low heat!
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
I was wearing a cotton shirt Maroush .. low heat does not work on cotton .. :D
@ TLK
You dont want to splash any hot oil on you so you want to use a big metal spoon to lower the meat into the oil.
low heat does not work on cotton .. :D
For someone that knows so much you sure do get hurt a lot......
Re: Silly mistakes while cooking
I don't have a story of my own mistake from the kitchen but I have one from a friend......
We've invited a few couples over and I'm running late to change clothes cuz the apetizer (i.e. fish pakoray) needs to be done last minute and I won't deep fry after I have changed.....so.......friend offers to help fry while I go and freshen up.
Thankful for the help I accept her gracious offer and show her the fish pieces in one bowl, masala and besan in another. I demonstrate by taking 5 or 6 pieces at a time, dipping them and lowering them into the karahi for deep frying. I show her when to turn and when to remove from oil and drain.
I disappear for 10/15 minutes returning to find ALL of the fish pieces sitting in the bottom of the oil filled karahi slowly bubbling away like a molten mass. The masala-fied besan and fish have turned into a yellow pulp.
My generous friend reacts to the horror on my face with, "I've never fried fish before. I don't know why it's not cooking like the pieces you did."
I did this mistake yesterday.
