My childhood was a very beautiful one. I used to be always engrossed in my studies and art. I loved to draw and paint. My Mom always encouraged me by taking me around for various competitions and she used to feel very good when I used to win something and get it home. Apart from dance, painting and studies I did not do anything else. Come the summer vacations, I used to stitch pillow covers and do hand embroidery on then.
Begin an artist at heart, I also started writing poems and would publish them in newspapers and magazines. The only thing which I never did was cooking food. When my marriage time came, my Mom was worried as to what I will cook and feed my family. I used to childishly say "I will hire a cook".
Soon after marriage I realized that it was not so easy to hire a cook. So I started learning to cook and spent the 1st 6 months just learning the basics of cooking. I learnt to make tea, rice, rotis and some basic subzis. Very soon I realized that I also love cooking. Cooking is an art, and I an artist at heart. My Mom feels proud now that my family loves whatever I make. My mom-in-law calls me and asks me certain recipes which she had when she visited my place. Isn't it great?
Today I will present to you all a great recipe. I used to have China grass pudding in my childhood when my aunt used to make it on some special occasions.
