Together, we started working on the recipe, a classic chicken tikka masala dish that Rohini had chosen. I showed her some tips and tricks I had learned from watching cooking videos, and we chatted about the different spices and ingredients we were using.
The next day, Rohini presented her project to the class, and she received glowing feedback from her teacher and peers. She told me that she felt confident and proud to share her culture, and that our collaboration had made it possible.
We even made a short video of our cooking process, which Rohini wanted to share with her classmates and family. In the video, we chatted about the recipe, demonstrated some cooking techniques, and showed off our finished dish. It was a fun way to document our experience and share it with others.
I had always been interested in cooking, and Indian cuisine was one of my favorites. I saw that Rohini was struggling to chop the vegetables and mix the spices, so I offered to help her out.
