My first time cooking

This a very touching moment of my life that I want to mention in my blog and it happened During my summer vacations I went to Meerut with my papa when he was posted there. At that time I was in class 7th or 8th.
One day in evening I decided to prepare dinner for my papa and everyone else.
My mom was very happy just like any other Indian mother she always wants her daughter to cook well. Let me specify that It was not first time that I was going to cook but it was the complexity of the dish I was preparing that made me little nervous. Kadhi (prepare using curd) is really risky and some thing new for me and I was going to experiment this on my family, although I was more excited than nervous.
I was making Kadhi first time so my mom told me the complete recipe and ingredient required..
So, finally I was in kitchen and felt like a Queen taking over the charge of battlefield.
I mixed the curd in mixi together with all other ingredients like Chopped onion, Red chili powder, Turmeric powder, Salt, Gram flour etc.
Finally testing time came. My mom tasted it and told me its great. I was very happy but she felt that it tasted differently from what she makes. She ask me about Ingredients of my recipe. And then Bang! She told me the blunder I did. I had mixed Corn Flour (Makki ka atta) in place of Gram flour as I did'nt know the difference between the two. As long as the Kadhi was hot it tasted was good but when it started cooling you can imagine what happen with that . The test was horrible and it actually became a dough.
She laughed off again when I decided to make lady finger (Bhindi) But you know what was the best thing at that day my papa tasted my kadii and he told me its test is better then your mom makes..
Love you papa!!!!
