[Charan]

Basic cooking :D can survive with out mom's food for max 1 week :D .

I am a pure non vegetarian ok .. thats too much .. I eat both veg and N Veg

@Gigacore "Geeks who can cook"... thats a topic of discussion ;)

Cooking is one important skill that I learnt living away from family. Anyway I had interest even before I started cooking. You guys would have seen TV for tech shows, but I do for cookery shows. :D

I'm strictly Veg (but others in my family eat non veg as well) and can cook fairly well - atleast I like it.

None can help you cooking but yourself. I tried a lot of things. Try a lot. Fail for 20-25. After that you're master chef!

BTW most cooks in hotels are male .. Only seen a few female cooks and that too only in TV.. :p

[chicha]

i did try.
But when my parents are at home kicthen is off limits for me.
They i am careless. so what if i leave the water heater on the whole night, or if i leave the keys on the bike for the whole night.


offtopic.
drgrudge the pic, who is that? do not mind asking looks familiar for some reason.

I don't usually cook, but when my folks aren't there I can manage pretty well. Besides the usual dal fry/ rice/ vegetables/ salad, I can do the odd chicken dishes, fry fish (goans love fish), as well as whack the small dog (no I don't cook the dog)

[ratedrsuperstar]

me too i don't cook so much nowadays but definitely give all of yall mommy's a run for their money.i know so many dishes that i find most of the dishes shown on tv old and too basic.the only thing i'm bad at is chinese soups and rice

i am a pure non-vegetarian(mostly fish):D

[chinmay]

I can't manage anything except Maggi. I rely on good ol' McDonalds when the cook is away.

[entrana]

u can always try following the cookbooks its not as hard as it looks as long as u follow them properly

[praka123]

I am mainly non-vegetarian.
I can cook rice(Malayali meal is rice) make some fish fry esp karimeen (http://www.fishbase.org/ComNames/CommonNameSearchSpeciesList.cfm?CommonName=Karimee n) fry(google it).:D It may be a news that we(south) people have rice meals!.also can do(try) Malabar Biryani kinda ok.:o

[infra_red_dude]

[shantanu]

i can cook anything vegetarian... coz i am veggie.. every thing.. from chapati, to panner... and all ..

[iMav]

only maggi ... infra maggi mein kuch nahi karna .. water and that maggi boil till u think its done aur hogaya

[infra_red_dude]

abe nahin.. once i tried to make it... put in very less water compared to the hardned noodles.. then realised that and added more watter. it became excessive.. so tried to drain it... and it was all a mess... then i threw the whole thing away!!! never tried again! ;)

[harryneopotter]

Actually i can cook a few things .... like Chapatis, paranthas, and a few curries like Shahi Paneer,Potato Curry with curd (lassi...) ... and some more ....

[nish_higher]

u need Digit Fast Track To Cooking

[Third Eye]

Digit Fast Track to cooking lol nice idea

[faraaz]

I've lived by myself in Sydney, Australia for three years...so yeah, I'm damn good at cooking. Since I'm from Hyderabad, Hyderabadi stuff is what I know. Except Biriyani...its too elaborate and time consuming, so I never bothered learning that. But apart from that, I can make chapatis, rice, khichdi, omelettes and also like 10-15 different curries...

PLUS I managed to learn how to make a decent beef steak with pepper sauce as well as Doner kebabs & french toast while I was in Australia.
