Garam Paratha, Makhan Maar Ke!
Put those oats and cereals aside and grab a piping hot paratha and let your fingers swim in butter. Yes. home-made parathas, with dollops of Amul skidding around all over them - the best way to start your day!
Pao Bhaji, Wahji
The ‘eat healthy and avoid bread’ formula must be thrown in the dustbin for a day. Pamper yourself with spicy pao bhaji with raw onions sprinkled with lemon. And about the smelly breath, just pop a mint.
Swimming-In-Oil Chicken Korma
It’s amazing how greasy food tastes the yummiest of all. Take chicken korma, you can barely spot the curry. All you are dipping your roti into is a pool of oil or ghee with some masala in it.
Finger-Licking & Oh-So-Fattening Chole Bhature
On a legitimate day to to hog, how can you ignore the staple diet of the Punjabis - Chole Bhature. Maida or no maida, this dish has to be eaten and relished. Rest can weight!
Deep Fried & Deadly - The Good Old Samosa
What’s tea-time without any samosas? Forget those fibre biscuits and munch on those oily samosas with heavy tomato fillings and green chutney. If this doesn’t sound too chatpata then add some curd and imli chutney. You would end up with samosa chaat. Tempting. Right?
Jalebi: Hot, Sweet Calorie Fries
You just can’t have enough of jalebies. Those little, curly, crunchy, sweet fries comes with high calories. And if you have a sweet tooth then you can even add rabri or ice cream to your jalebies. Sluurrp! Now, this would be a perfect way to end your Monday.
Death By Chocolate!
In the end, it’s got to be chocolate. The Eat What You Want Day is incomplete without some divine gooey chocolate dessert. But not just chocolate cake. How about you top it up with whipped cream and ice cream, and chocolate sauce, nuts and cherry. Sigh!
Now go on.. enjoy your food filled day! Burrrrrp!!
