The Cooking Disaster, another random post
So, now is time for a super - long, random post(just few minutes after my previous one), but this one is about this totally disasterous cooking disaster i had. :D

My parents had gone out somewhere and my sis was in OBM, so I was this poor, hungry girl stuck all alone at home. I was like absolutely famished so this poor, hungry girl decided to cook all by herself! First I searched the fridge and found a packet of dosa batter. For those who do not know what a dosa is, it is this Indian dish which is similar to pancake, only more crispier. You put the batter on a pan, and then after it gets cooked, turn it around and cook the other side.

Disaster #1: First I took the batter out. Since it was in a packet I had to transfer it into a box first so that I could use the ladle to transfer it to the pan. While cutting the packet, it slipped and fell *SPLAT* on to the ground and spilt all over the floor. *SIGH*I cleaned it up with a mop.

Disaster #2: I put the pan on the gas and lighted it. While waiting for it to heat up, I happily went to read the book lord of flies. And after 20 minutes I finally remembered the pan was on the gas and ran to the kitchen. It was freaky… the pan was smoking and smelled seriously burnt.(and it was burnt)

Disaster #3: When I poured the batter onto the pan, it came out like half dried cement… I forgot to thaw it and so it was like only half thawed and half liquid and like totally lumpy.

Disaster #4: Since it was only half thawed, I had to let it thaw for some more time. But I was impatient so I decided to add water instead. So I poured a little water. Ok……. probably not a little….. just a bit too much. I put it on the pan again but it was like too watery and was like running all over the pan. Anyway, I finally made a successful dosa. Well…. Not really successful…I mean it is supposed to be circular… but it turned out to be in some vague shape. If you threw an uncooked egg on the floor and it broke, the shape of the spilt ‘eggie liquid’ would be something close to the shape of my dosa. And ya.. like half of the dosa was stuck to the pan.

Disaster #5: Finally I could eat something! So I sat at the dining table and began eating. I took one bite, and almost spat it out. I forgot to add salt! It tasted something like fried paper. So, I decided to make another dosa, but this time I added some salt. But, as expected, I added too much. 3 heaped spoonfuls of salt I think.

This was like the most salty thing I had ever eaten. It was like so totally inedible! I had to chew some two spoonfuls of sugar to get the salty taste out of my mouth. So, finally the hungry little girl learnt her lesson and bought fried rice from the hawker centre below her house and took like 45 minutes to clear up the whole mess I had made in the kitchen.

*SIGH*

Swirls 'n' Twirls :D
