Even though I used to cook ,today I felt like sharing it to the world.It started when I was in school,I used to try various recipes designed by me :-). The dishes were very simple snacks which me and my brother used to have.My brother(probably my first victim :D) enjoyed the snacks served by me which inspired me to try different types of snacks.

Later in High school/College, I became a very big fan of Sanjeev Kapoor's 'Khana Khazana' show, which inspired me to try out various recipes.To be frank some were mere flop and some were success.My brother and parents continued to play their victimized role in my cookery show :D. Jokes apart they enjoyed the food and gave very good feedback.Later I used to cook when my Mom was not well, I never experimented at that time as it was a very difficult time for us and hence I cooked only normal-simple dishes. 

After a long time today I experimented by making Black Pepper Chicken Dry.  Even though this is a common preparation I thought of sharing it to the world.You can try out and go through my Cooking experiments/recipes in my blog-- Rasoi(Cooking experiments/Recipes)http://sreedha-ki-rasoi.blogspot.com/ ..:-) Enjoy..Have A Great Life.:-)
