In a person's life, from the beginning to the end, he has to understand everything, he has to learn, this is how he grows up. There is a saying that education has no end. I have understood this very well in my life.
This was two years ago when I did not have a smartphone. Only my mother had a smartphone. I did not have much experience in cooking. I tried to do something. I started watching many videos on my mother's phone. Then I was watching a YouTuber's cooking.
Then I thought that I could not try anything?
But I decided to myself that I would definitely try the recipe. I thought to myself that of course I can. I took my mother's phone in my hand and started watching a good recipe. Suddenly I saw a cooking recipe from a channel in our country. I went there, I saw that a very nice chicken biryani was being cooked. Then I thought to myself that maybe it would not take me long, as much time as it took her.
I took my bag in my hand, I told my mother that I would not cook at noon today. He felt a little embarrassed by my words. I went to the market. I bought chicken from the market. I brought some other things with me that I would need to cook.
After a while I saw that my younger brother Minar came from school. He must be two years younger than me. He left his bag and came to me and saw that I was cooking in the kitchen. So he stood next to me. But he talks a lot.
I left the video on YouTube. There I saw that he put the pan. Then he slowly poured oil in it.
I took the oil bottle, I poured oil in the pan. Some oil seemed to fall down. My own younger brother called mother. I know I will get beaten a lot for this.😁
But I told him, "I will give him ten taka to be quiet."😁 This was my first mistake.
Then I slowly put the onions in the pan. I added other spices. I started frying them and it was already visible that they were burnt.
This was very painful for me. I threw them away and started frying again by pouring the spices. I lost a lot of confidence in myself at that time, because this was my first time doing it.
Then I started cooking again after watching the video. I put the meat in water and left it in the pan to boil. After a while, a faint smell came out. Which I liked a lot. But this time I passed this step just fine. Then my confidence came back to me.
This time it was cooking rice for biryani.
I put rice in the pan. I saw on youtube that rice should be cooked for 10 minutes. I cooked rice for 10 minutes but I saw that my rice was almost cooked. 🥹
Again I felt bad. I controlled myself again. I worked hard and finally made biryani. The biryani was a little too spicy.
My mother came into the kitchen from outside. She came and asked me, "What experiment is being done here?"
I told her the truth.
She then opened the lid and asked me, "Is this something new?"
I told her, "This is biryani." She then started laughing a lot. Seeing his smile, my younger brother and I both started laughing. At that time, the situation in the kitchen was almost bad.
But she consoled me and said, "Do it again later."
It is really a matter of observation that we are shown quite a few recipes online that seem very easy. But in reality, they are very difficult to make. It requires time, patience and experience. Which I did not have at all and it was not that easy.

The recipe I saw on YouTube was very difficult for me.
