So a month ago I visited my family back home in India and the meal I really enjoyed there was actually a homemade meal prepared with love by my mother. We were at my home and everybody was gathered there, my whole family, my sister, my brother, my aunts and uncles and their kids and thereafter. We actually had a small gathering to welcome me back home after so long. I ate chapatis and some traditional dishes like lentils and tofu as we call it paneer and my personal favorite butter chicken. I actually enjoyed it so much because my family was present there. In our culture, in our culture usually we bond over food because it’s a comfort for us. We eat at home, the spices and the flavor of each and every dish so it just hits you in the face and you are woken up all of a sudden and that’s why I enjoyed it because there was a family present and food was filled with love and joy and laughter and family bonding.

So a month ago, I visited my family back home in India, and the meal I really enjoyed there was actually a homemade meal prepared with love by my mother.
