How was your week? I hope it was better than the one I had. I’m writing to you after a week that was nothing short of a stand-up comedy set. Long story short: it involved two mess-ups I caused because I thought we were still in 2021, one broken pair of glasses, and one extremely overpriced plate of veg fajitas.
But it wasn’t all bad. At the end of it all, Maa made aloo paratha (flatbread stuffed with potatoes) with mango pickle and life was good. And I realized just how comforting aloo paratha is to me, as a meal. So, randomly, I began to ask my friends and colleagues about their comfort foods.
I was pleasantly amused at the answers I got, which ranged from moong dal khichdi (a dish made of rice and lentils) to biryani with aloo, sattu ka puri (deep-fried flatbread made of lentil flour) to red packet of Lays’ chips and dal chawal to koshimbir (a type of salad) with rotis.
These answers left me more curious. Which is precisely why I pose this question to you today. To satiate my curiosity about other people’s comfort foods. So do me a favour and write back to me with your comfort food?
That’s it from me today, The Sunday. See you tomorrow with more stories!
Oh, and don’t forget to write back to me with your comfort foods. I’m truly and genuinely curious to find out different foods we have associated comfort with!
Until we speak again
