White rice!

After trying all kinds of rice, brown rice, quinoa, that rice, this rice and 24 mantra rice etc, today, I ate what I ate when I landed on earth! Yes, plain simple white rice, Well, I didnt know there are different types of rice when I was born, there was only 'One' rice. 'One' coffee.

I had tears in my eyes. As why every Indian today is deprived of 'white' rice. Its an enemy. It makes people fat.
It didnt make them fat back then?
We need to be proud of our 'white' rice as we all need the 'carbs' to survive. And whatever our ancestors have been eating, our body is built that way.

White rice- Gives taste to anything we eat as it doesnt have a 'taste' of its own, hence everything is tasty with it.
Ghee- Helps in digestion. Even today, I put 'ghee' in my daugher's 'Mac n Cheese', as that helps her digest this stuff!
Avakay - Helps fight colds and coughs. Hey, the oil used is 'sesame oil', again its great for our body!
Curd - Helps in digestion.
Pappu/Dal - High in 'Protein'. Great to fill our stomach.
Tadka - Why we put 'Tadka' ? 'Hing' helps digest the 'dal', 'Jeera' and 'Mustard' too helps balance our 'Dal's heaviness. And makes digestable and gives us the necessary nutrition.

As the years pass by, our ancient wisdom is awakening me and makes me realize I will pass this to my daughter and generations that come along!
