November Photo A Day Challenge, by City Sonnet, Day 23

What if you could eat all you want and still stay fit?

These days everything I eat seems to gather around my face. Don’t you agree with Julia Child when she says

People who love to eat are always the best people.”

If I start posting my food pictures, there would be no end. I love to cook, and before I sit to savour that blessing, I take a photograph of that platter, spread with love and effort. I never cook the same dish, in the same manner twice as I play around with the recipe everytime.

When I narrow down and select a few of my favourites, it would be these.

Honey Chilly Potatoes will be the Top Banana in my vegetarian starter list.

For main course, Chicken Biriyani anytime, served with date chutney, salad and papadoms ( deep fried flat bread made of lentil flour)

For dessert, I would opt Tiramisu without batting an eyebrow.

Then the ultimate comfort food which spells HOME in bold. It is the traditional vegetarian spread of Keralites which is served on a banana leaf. With 15-20 dishes, it takes hours to prepare and hence I wait for Onam festival to go full steam.

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.
