Ladoo!

My science exam starts tomorrow. I have finally FINISHED studying. All the sonar problems in physics, the crazy diagrams in bio and the incomprehensible molar sums in Chemistry.

History, Politics and English are the only subjects I love.

I have been asking random people feedback about my blog. Out of fifteen people, nine people said that my blog very good, three said that reading it was a complete waste of time and the other three said that my blog resembles more of a diary. I should include more events, incidents, places to make it seem more like a blog. So here I am writing about my first PROPER cooking experience.

It all started on a bright sunny day. Uhm, no actually, It was raining. Well, whatever.
It was the day I decided to make "besan ki ladoo". (Click here for a picture)

I asked my mom for all the ingredients and with the recipe in front of me, I religiously started assembling everything in a very organized fashion.
(For those who don't know me, I am NOTHING organized). I was quite okay in the beginning. I just had to melt some butter and add the besan to it to make a thick paste. After a few moments i realized that ALL my butter was over and i didn't have enough to even bury the besan leave alone make it a paste. So i added ghee. This is when the disaster started.
My besan became all watery and it refused to stay "THICK" like I wanted it to. So with the besan on the gas, I ran to my neighbors house wearing my pajamas asking for butter.
I did finally get it.
I added SOME MORE besan and emptied the whole cup of butter into the dish.
THANKFULLY nothing bad happened.
But unfortunately nothing good happened either.
Defeated, I just continued stirring wondering what I will tell my mom about the dish. =P
After few moments, IT TURNED INTO THE THICK PASTE.
I mean, really, You should have seen me jumping up and down my kitchen when the dish actually turned out right.
I removed the dish from the stove and started making it into small balls.
Finally. The. Tasting.
{I nibbled one ladoo cautiously}
It tasted TERRIFIC (not to brag or anything).

Apart from some ghee and my kitchen turning into a ABSOLUTE mess, No damage done. And I had some wonderful ladoos!
