Random dish

Often, while cooking I change my mind about what it is I want to make. I start off with the idea to make upma and then go on to make an elaborate something. The vice-verse also happens often.
Today's case was similar. Here is our nameless dish of the day:


Rice, beans, tomatoes and onions cooked together with chilli powder and salt in a pressure cooker. Tastes good.

I was wondering, why when there are so many recipe books available and there are videos on youtube that tell you how to cook some dish or the other etc., do people find it difficult to learn how to cook?
The answer:
Cooking is like learning to ride a bicycle. You inevitably fall the first few times, no matter how many manuals you read on how it is done. And then you grow in confidence as you keep practicing.
That's today's gyan for the day folks!
That said, I know someone who learnt how to swim with just an online guide. Don't try this at home folks!
