First Step

My First trial in the kitchen.

My journey has began. My first dish was rice.

Even though it seems like a very simple and basic dish, it will be used in a lot of other complicated recipes. I wanted to be good at cooking rice, and practice it well so that while cooking other, more complicated recipes, I would not have to look back on the rice recipe, and would be able to make off the top of my head.

Here is the finishing results:

I followed my mom's recipe and made this dish, and it tasted amazing at the end.

For 4-5 servings
Cooking Time: 20-30 min.

3. Add in salt, and cumin seeds.

Salt, cumin seeds, onion, and oil all mixed together

1. Slowly and carefully add in 4 cups of water. Be careful!!!!! There might be some hot drops of oil that might splash out. 
2. Wait for the water to start boiling, and then take the water out of the rice, and pour the rice into the pan. 
3. Cover the pan, with its lid, and keep the stove on high heat.
