Heard this term after a long time in a drama. Mother was saying to her pregnant daughter ‘aisi haalat main khane ka khayal rakha karo, allam ghallam mat khaya karo’.
Now whats actually this allam ghallam? Was that a food item or something not suitable for eating and used as food by people during some troublesome time (like famine, etc).

Without these two, every food is made without these two, and it is so tasteless that it can be used as slow poison
Re: Allam Ghallam
so you sacrificed a lot for love.
Re: Allam Ghallam
No one generally voluntarily sacrifices in love, love, by its very nature, is selfish and believes in self fulfillment.
For onion and garlic thing, I cook my food using the two, after regular slow poison is made by supreme commander 
Re: Allam Ghallam
she might be calling whatever you make as ‘allam ghallam’ 
Re: Allam Ghallam
There are two type of food, the slow poison that pundas eat is called Satwik and those not eaten by them, made by onion and garlic is asatwik. In ancient time even a gaze of non-brahmin caste could pollute their food :D, by ancient time, I mean before Independence
Re: Allam Ghallam
are you referring to maleechh.
KKF was telling that meat consumption is at its height nowadays in India.. Non-Muslims are enjoying Kababs, Qorma and Biryani.
Re: Allam Ghallam
Maleccha is different, Only Brahmins and Baniyas don’t eat meat, rest were always meat eaters, like Thakurs and Rajputs and other castes :), this also depends on the region they live. kasmiri pandit’s diet included fish and lamb. Bengali brahmins eat fish
