Question
Describe a dish you can cook at home.
Sample answer
I am not a good cook and I know very little about cooking and related stuffs. Yet, I know how to cook only a few common dishes as I had to cook sometimes during my university life/ college life. One such dish is the boiled rice and mutton curry.
To cook this dish we would need the rice, mutton, some spices, onion, vinegar, mustard, water, oil, salt and some other basic cooking ingredients.
I probably learned it from my mother's cooking. As I have seen my mother cook this very dish countless times, the idea and cooking of this dish came to me from there. When I cooked this dish for the first time, I actually recalled what my mother did and I followed the memories I had regarding my mother cooking this dish. So in a sense, I learned it from my mother, though she did not teach me how to cook this dish directly.
To cook this dish, one need to clean and wash the rice and then boil it in the water for about 30 minutes. At the end the cook has to check the water level and if needed s/he would need to drop off the extra water. Thus the boiled rice item would be prepared. To make it tasty, we sometimes use a very small portion of ghee/ tasty butter to give it a good scent and a delicious taste.
For the mutton curry part, the cook must wash the mutton first and then keep it in the water for about 20 minutes. After the mutton is washed neatly, it would have to put in the amalgam of the 3-4 spices, oil and vinegar. After that water would be added to this and the cook has to wait for 20-30 minutes before it would be ready to be served along with the rice.
I would say this is an easy dish to cook. It does not require so many ingredients or so many complex processes for cooking. This is a tasty dish that can be prepared easily and the taste would be great if everything goes alright.
