While writing today’s article, I thought a lot about
what to write, but nothing good came to mind.
So I decided to write about the one thing that had
been on my mind since morning.
And that thought was about homemade comfort food
the kind of food we can’t find anywhere except at home.
You know, when we live away from home – whether in a
hostel or because of work – we miss home a lot.
we miss home, of course…but sometimes, we miss
home-cooked food even more.
No matter how hard we try, we can never find food like
home outside. And even if we try to cook it ourselves,
it never tastes the same.
And that’s when we start missing Dadi’s ( Grandma ) or
Mumma’s food.
No Restaurant, Just Ghar ka Khana
As for me, I have just one comfort food that I can eat every
single day – something I can never say no to. My ultimate
comfort food is varan bhat ( Traditional Maharashtrian dal and rice)
The dish from home I miss the most is varan bhat.
And when it’s served with batti ( batti is traditional Maharashtrian
bread, usually served with varan bhat ), the day feels complete.
This is one dish I can eat anytime, anywhere.
I really love it – but only when it’s made by my mumma
or grandma. It’s special to me.
I mean. even if someone else makes this dish, I still eat it
and enjoy it a lot. But ever since childhood, I’ve been
so used to eating varan bhat made by my mumma or grandma
that their varan bhat batti just feels extra special.
After reading this article, I hope it reminded you of
that one dish that’s just as special to you too.
You must have a comfort food like this too, right? It might
be a very simple dish, but you probably miss it a lot.
