Even after spending years in the kitchen, it is usual for many of us to get confused between ingredients, especially if they look alike. The difference between similar dals, for instance, still confuses us to this day! However, that's not the case with this toddler here. A 3-year-old child, Abir, blew away our minds with his knowledge of spices and food items. He can be seen flawlessly naming different whole spices and even differentiating between lentils. His ease and confidence have put us to shame and how! The Instagram video was uploaded by Abir's mother @sonikabhasin who is a low waste-living enthusiast and has taught Abir to love his time in the kitchen. The mother-son duo is often seen going about in the kitchen with Abir trying his hand on cooking, helping his mother cook, and learning the ropes of sustainable living.
