My experiment with cooking

My experiment with cooking

‘No, just don’t teach her how to switch it on’, my mom said. I put my entire energy to it,but the gas knob refused to turn. As a kid of 11 yrs i didn’t know how to switch on the gas, each time i would try hard to turn it on unaware that the knob needs to be pressed. Since i would be alone in the house (my parents were working that time) my mom was very reluctant to teach me how the kitchen basics work fearing it might lead to some accident, as i was too young to operate the gas without any supervision. But curiosity just cannot be killed, and during one of my desperate attempts to turn the gas knob on, i accidentally pressed it. 
And wallah- what a discovery!!! 
I quickly practiced it a couple of times and there i was an expert knob turner. :)

Now that i knew how it worked, I was in for some more experiment .My mom had made chapattis, now i knew it had to be something with this (as i wasn't still trained in cutting, chopping, dicing etc) so it had to be something which required no knife, no fancy cuts, no technique involved. 

I don’t know what went through my mind ,i quickly poured some pure desi ghee in the pan, and added chapatti broken down to pieces with my hand, i saw a lump of jaggery in a jar and added a few pieces to the pan. The jaggery melted to a nice gooey consistency coupled with the aroma of desi ghee – it smelled truly divine. I stirred it a little and there it was- my first own creation.

And now was the moment of truth, i took a spoonful- ummm...the chapatti was nicely coated with jiggery and the sweet smell of desi ghee- i just loveddd it!! 

After 25 yrs this dish still brings on fond memories to me and takes me back to where it all had once started....
Though most basic i would still want to share my special recipe:
