Bon Appétit with Curry

After arriving at the Stony Brook, a big challenge for me is to cook. Actually, I had never cooked in my home counrty because my mom cooks everyday. Therefore, cooking becomes an important errand to do in my daily life. The first meal comes out my mind is curry. I thought curry was easy to prepare and storage. To save money and time, I want to do my best to cook the curry for this week meal.

I asked my sister how to prepare the materials and how to cook the curry. After asking the all the details I would want to know. I went to the supermaket to buy curry cubes, onions, potatos, apples, chickens, and carrots. When everything was prepared well, I started to cook. First of all, I stir-fried chicken until it was almost well done. While puting the chicken into the hot oil, I was screaming because the oil made the sizzling sounds. Secondly, I stir-fried the rest materials which were cooked in different pot. When those vegetables turned brown and gold color, I turned off the fire. Thirdly, I put everthing in the boiler and added the water covering the food a little bit.

At the fourth step, I followed my sister saying that I should boil the food until those materials absorb the water. However, more and more water came out from those vegetables, so I called her again to tell her this situation. As a result, she told me that she forgot to mention the important step to me. She said I should stir-fry the vegetables until the water come out. To remedy this mistake is to boil the food with more times. Fortunately, the food seemed like what she said. Finally, I put the curry cube and made it be well mixed with the food.

I was so nervous and excited how the curry was tasted. It was the happy ending!! The curry is really really great. The flavor is awesome!! Not only did I feel, my roommates said it is really great. They did not believe me that I was the first cook with curry. I really enjoyed cook the curry, but it took a lot of time. I cooked the curry from 6 pm to 8 pm. Nevertheless, I do not need to cook for the rest days of this week.
