My name is Roksana Parveen, and I study chemistry in college. Ever since getting married, my interest in cooking has grown, and I developed a liking for cooking by watching my mother’s culinary skills. I started experimenting with cooking by observing my mother’s recipes.
I participated in a local-level cooking competition called “Marks Dessert Queen,” where I prepared regional dishes for the first time. I cooked dishes like egg pudding, rice pudding, and egg fry in that competition.
