Hello all, Really very happy to see interest in cooking by mails also. At Payal didi, I same relized while practising to put vessel and then light the gas, after three or four strocks, I lighted the gas. I feel it would be denjarous for me in beginning level because much gas would spraid during this process. and even I have practised to light gas first and then put vessel. afterwords, when I will get masteryin this process, I will try to apply other method. It seems I need only practice, practice and practice with full confidence and without fear. I will deffinetly contect all females who are interested to guide me. Bijal.
