After some sinful eating over
the last week, thanks to a very hectic shooting schedule, it was time to give
my body some detox food.
This is a recipe that I have
used every time I want to stop my binging. Turai is this green veggie, cut into
half inch half moon size, which is added to a kadhai that has 3 drops of olive
oil and half a sliced onion. Once the water dries, add salt, pepper and a few
granules of sugar with a cup of slim milk. If u want to enhance the taste, add
some butter.
At 8 pm, I decided to have a
bowl of that delicious veggie, half an hour after I downed a Patiala glass of
chaas. Dinner was light and satisfying. I was reading a book, totally engrossed
in it, when my hubby declared, I am hungry. 3 hours had passed since I had
supped.
Like a giant reptile waking
up from a slumber, hunger pangs invaded my body. It coiled around my gut,
gripping me in its fever. I drank some water to assuage it. The hunger was
insulted, it rebelled with a vengeance.
Half an hour later, we were
scouting for a place to serve something, anything... We zeroed in on Hangla's,
a popular road side eatery in Andheri. I ordered the famous Kolkata roll... a
double egg roll and a chicken cutlet.
The cutlet failed to pass
muster as,the roll was just divine. Crisp on the out, soft inside..with some
thinly sliced onions and a slight dash of
The reptile within was
satiated. But then guilt pangs waged a huge battle against contentment. In this
ugly scuffle, I felt like I had to chose between a lover and a spouse... not
happening. I shut my mental shop, switched off the ever irritating
conscience...and burped ... heavenly... We may diet, and diet, but God in his
Sweet Heaven just creates these wondrous moments where life is beautiful. Amen
to that.
