initially my dad was the type who wouldn't cook, wouldn't get up to get his water etc etc...he was quite pampered by his mom in Pakistan and still is every time he goes to visit. But as my parents grew older, my dad started to clean, help around the house, make chai for my mom, and even cooks...and it's sooo cute...he makes the most yummiest mattar gosht everrr! :) currently he's making chicken korma :) (oh and he uses his own masalay)
