Now that I have been cooking for almost two months (47 days to be precise) I’m almost qualified to help out other poor lost souls like me and hence here it is.
Cooking tips for beginners:
• Maggi (instant noodles) is your savior. Though targeted to children, it is a verified fact that Maggi sells more to single working professionals. Thus, please do not try to alter consumption statistics. Cook Maggi with the frequency of 5 nights a week.
• Leave aside Rs. 2000 for phone bills every month. Every time you cook, call up your mother (or any other helpful female relative) and get the recipe on the spot. This avoids lapses in memory later when you are cooking (IMPORTANT: Leaving out some of the ingredients while cooking could make the food bland.)
• Never pour water on hot boiling oil. It’s not a good idea at all. It usually causes something similar to an explosion and can be quite scary.
• Hate cutting vegetables? Thank God for mixers! Wash vegetables, peel and put in the mixie. (IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to put the lid on, or the vegetable spray will turn the walls of your kitchen into a modern art painting.)
• Work on your PR. Get friendly with people who can cook and invite then over for meals. The idea is to get them to cook for you.
• Buy a refrigerator. Every time you cook, cook for 10 people, which means 10 meals. Store in your fridge. When your fridge starts smelling funny, throw away the food and cook large quantities again. (IMPORTANT: Do not try to eat more food in one meal, just to finish it. It could cause severe indigestion or weight gain.)
• Instant popcorn makes a good evening snack. If you have a pressure cooker it’s easy to make. (IMPORTANT: Read the instructions properly, or your kitchen could be flooded with white popcorn. On second thoughts, if you’re the romantic kind, try it once. It looks quite nice!)
• Always keep tomato sauce bottles in stock. Whenever food cooked is bland, add some tomato sauce for taste.
• Stock up on bread, butter, cheese. When all else fails, you will not go hungry.
If you found the tips helpful, please come back after a month. Next article on cooking will be: Cooking tips for the no-longer-inexperienced-ha-ha!
