Yummmmmm

Its been 10 days tht mum is out of town n i hv been in the kitchen.. though this time mumz left a cook since exams are coming by n i know y so much of extra pampering... but i guess when mumz out i get to experiment in the kitchen with cooking... since i dont hv to do the usual chapati, sabji stuff this time, i hv all the time to cook something else,so whts on the menu.... Desserts !!!

For the first time i tried making gajar ka halwa... i had no idea how to make it but had seen mum once or twice adding things while making the halwa... so i used lil cooking sense tht i have n managed to make it.. though i never wanted to make a fool of myself so after it was ready i tasted it myself.. n to my surprize it turned out really well.. when i served it to dad he was surprized to see the gajar halwa.... hehe.... dad n sis enjoyed the halwa n they liked it so much tht in bout 3 hrs they finished it n it was around 1 kg....

Next day it was time to bake some cake... i hv tried a couple of times n everytime something goes wrong... so this time i bake it.. cake was looking fine but i had no guts to taste it.. n since all my experimental outcomes are tried on my sis, she was really happy tht i turned out well but thought tht the cake cud hv been a lil soft but was quite good in taste... this cake got over in like 2 days n dad felt like hving more so next day i baked it again n it turned out really well..... practice definately makes man perfect....

Now in all this i made quite a few other things chocolates & ice cream.... n this time nothing was wasted n nothing i made had to be thrown into the bin..... i m really glad bout it... now blunder is, mum left back 1 kg of cocoa powder n a pack a kashmiri kesar (saffron) which is really expensive (125 Rs. for 1 gm) n all of tht is over in like lil more thn 10 days...... All the ice creams, chocolates, cakes, brownies.... all of them chocolate flavoured... the thing is like when mum comes back its fine with the cocoa powder coz only i use it but with tht kesar getting over shez gonna kill me...not coz it was expensive but u hardly get it here... its the best quality n she had bought it n really used it carefully only while making kheer for special occasions.... i will hv to put the blame on dad for it.. i know thts the only way out n she wont say nething.... but whtever it is i really enjoyed cooking this time.... now with food i surely can make some good deserts.. hehe...
