Food for Health & Mind – Part 1

-


I have always believed that food can be a booster for not just our health, but also for our mind. Since childhood, I have always enjoyed passing my time sitting in a kitchen while my grandma or mom cooking food or even sometimes alone, just enjoying it.

It the place in our home while is most active, most happening, attracting all of us. In-fact our primary objective for earning money is to feed our family. Such is our kitchen so special. I feel it not just the place where food is cooked, but also the love, affection, sentiments are poured in our food to make a delicious meal for the whole family.

No food can taste good, if it not made with love & affection. That might be the reason we can’t enjoy restaurant food for long time. If anyone feels I am wrong, try eating from same restaurant for long time & day will come when you won’t be able to eat the food or even get nauseated. Going deep further, if you have a cook at home, if the person is making with love, you will continue eating the food prepared by cook for long time & won’t get bored or irritated. But the cook is just doing it for money, you won’t be able to eat for longtime & will think of making the food yourself.

When thinking about food for our mind, I heart always go to homemade food, which I have been eating at my home. Homemade food can completely satisfy my heart, stomach & mind, making me refreshed & happy. Example, very commonly we most of the people have tea at time & anywhere like chaiwala, other’s home, etc., but after all these teas, we feel the best when we have the tea made at our home or self-made. This tea gives us utmost satisfaction then anything in the world. Sorry, I am tea person, so can think of this example at the top.

So, homemade food is the stuff which satisfy me the most… which food satisfies you the most ??


Thank you for reading…. Bon Appetit !!!

Food for Health & Mind – Part 2

Continuing with Part 1 …..  I am bit confused these days, when I hear about food therapy types stuff like food for soul or mind. People eat to enjoy life or when they are in stress or depressed, etc. This might be true, we get hungrier when we are in pressure, stress or depress. But I feel, still we should eat consciously & not to forget in can affect our health. We need to maintain balance of food for our mind & health. We need to make conscious efforts to eat in portion. I am not giving any kind of nutritionist advice, but in efforts in make our mind relaxes if we keep on eating it, then we are harming our health. It’s like exchanging our health to get relaxed mind, which is dangerous. I feel this belief of relaxing our mind with food is like mirage or drug. You might feel relax for some time, as our stomach is full & get satisfaction. But again, after few hours or next day we back to square one. Everything in life is back, nothing changed. But might have degr...

This is really a miracle dish, which I have loved since I ate it for the 1st time. My chat-shop visit was never complete without pani-puris.  Many times, I went to chat shop only for pani-puris & never thought how much I ate, but still at the age of 34 I am still unsatisfied with pani-puris. Again & again in my life, it has proven my love for pani-puris, by having craving. Latest is lockdown, when we couldn’t get puris for pani-puris, we planned for making the puris at home (didn’t make it, due to some reason), but had the highest level of craving for it. Just to tell all, after 55 days, I had pani-puri at home. But seriously it was divine. Around the globe, pani-puri is made only in India. No were in the world you can get it. When in any 5 star hotels, there are Indian street food festival it is very difficult to explain non-Indians.   They explain it as “water balls with hot sauce”. Recipe – as I prepar...
