I want to learn cooking. Preferably Indian food at home.

All my life, I wanted to have good food. My mom and wife cook food very well. But sometimes they are busy, so I end up eating out which I don't like and also it's quite expensive to eat out in some restaurants. I'm 27 years old, whenever I tried to cook something it always ends up in some mess. I tried some YouTube videos, I get freaked out because of those ingredients, the right proportions and how time to cook and all...... I just want some suggestions how to start, what videos on youtube that I can watch. I want start simple. Make simple and healthy breakfast. Moreover I don't want be dependent on my wife or mom to cook my food. I want that independence and be not dependent on others for food. After all cooking is basic skill for every human, right?
