When I was in high school, during vacations I used to spend time in either in learning embroidery or with mom in learning recipes. I think I was in 9th std , Me and mom joined north Indian cookery class. The class was for an week and we learn t dishes like Paratha, Vegetable kurma, Stuffed capsicum, Fried rice, Gobi Manchurian. Since then we regularly used to prepare them at home.
