Living in a traditional country, as a girl it is our responsibility to help our mom with cooking and cleaning as engaging in household activities are considered to be part of a role of a girl. Therefore I have been helping my mom with cooking since the age of twelve and now I seem to master in the art of cooking and I do it with love for my family. I also find new recipes from youtube and try them while inventing my own recipes as well. However I always concern about the health benefits when cooking because healthy food promise us good health.
Hope you enjoyed my recipe. Thank you @manuelhooks for hosting this contest creating a platform for everyone to share their culinary creativity. Before concluding my participation I would like to invite @kusal @besticofinder and @dilums to participate in this contest.
