....l HATE HOME-MADE PARATAS!!

....OK!! This is a rant...! If you don't wanna hear brown boy moan, you may as well just close this window and go back to whatever it is you were doing...which if you are anything like me regretting that ULTRA-HEAVY meal you just ate on a Sunday evening and washed it down with a HUGE bowl of yoghurt! 

Earlier this year, I had lost 6 kilos and for whatever messed up reason, that worried me and I started cooking at home and started eating again for taste (not hunger)....look, let me explain what eating for taste means, I'll explain it using simple numbers....

Scenario #1 
Hunger = 4 slices of bread + Nutella 
Taste = 6 Aloo Paratas + Mango pickle + Yoghurt bowl (+ one large glass of pudin hara)

Scenario #2 
Hunger = 1 bowl of break fast cereal (for dinner)
Taste = 6 Plain Paratas + Soupy dal + Yoghurt bowl (+ one large glass of pudin hara)

Scenario #3
Hunger = 2 bananas + handful of nuts + 1 slice of cheese (#true story) 
Taste = 8 Phulkas + Chana masala + Mix veggies + Yoghurt bowl (+ two large glasses of pudin hara)

 ....so yes you get the picture...what am I supposed to do now?! And I don't even dare weigh myself.....this is just ridiculous...!!!

On an important side note, if you are ever in Belgium and want a delicious home made parata meal, just show up....Don't worry, I have enough stock of pudin hara for you as well...!! :)

**Pudin Hara = Ayurvedic all natural digestive liquid, its a life saver truly!!
