Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
Everyone has their own happy and comfort food. Right? I never thought that there would be some kind of dish that would transport me anywhere, let alone my childhood, but sometimes there is a nostalgic feeling when I eat a certain element of grain from my plate, or just the smell of it- while being cooked bring forth some blissful memories of my childhood, school days, those happy days filled with nothing but innocence.
When I was a school going girl, my mother used to make a certain vegetables of ladyfinger or we can call it Okra- in India we call it Bendi. That sabji of ladyfinger somehow became my Happy and comfort food. Even it date. Wierd? Well it is what it is.
My brother and I used to get that for lunch every other day, but I never hated it. As a child can hate a vegetable which is green, I actually grew fond of that dish.
So, yeah that was it. Nothing fancy, but just remembered my school years- especially those lunch hours.
