I’m tired of people having a go at Indian citizen applicant, Adnan Sami for being overweight so why not help out instead of making derogatory comments? Here’s a low fat recipe that is both nutritious and beneficial (only 249 cals) for our former Pak Popster - why not contribute some more and help Adnan to knock the knockers:
**Mediterranean Eggplant Casserole **
2 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, halved and sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. oregano, dried
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 lbs. tomatoes, chopped
3 tbs. fresh basil, sliced
1 cup dry bread crumbs, seasoned
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 lg. or 2 1/2 lbs. eggplant, peeled and cut crosswise into 3/8" thick slices
Prepare a cookie sheet with fat free cooking spray and set aside.
Mix bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Beat egg whites with 1/2 tsp. salt.
Dip eggplant slices in egg whites, coat with seasoned bread crumbs.
Place eggplant slices on prepared cookie sheet. You will have 2 different batches. Spray eggplant slices with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat, add onion and garlic. Cook until softened. Add oregano, 1 tsp. salt and pepper. Cook for one minute. Add tomatoes, increase heat to high and cook until thickened, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and add basil.
Broil eggplant slices, 1 batch at a time for 3-5 minutes per side, until brown.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Layer eggplant slices in a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Top with tomato mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered until cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.

*There is something called "self-control" and exercise when it comes to a person's nutrition. Does The Game need to explain these concepts here? **Think About It**. People, That Is All.*
Whatchya gonna do,brutha, when the ARTIST-mania runs wild on you?
And i'm saying that there are some medical problems in which excercise and diet do not help. An enzyme of some sort doesn't work...and sometimes its a thyroid thing...there are many things that can go wrong with your metabolism (although rare) which can't be fixed by eating salad and hanging out at the gym.
I have to agree with you. The same sort of thing happend to Amjad Khan(aka Gabbar singh) who as we all know was pretty fit during his early roles. later a ‘fattening’ desiese caught up with him and he just grew till he died!
I just can't believe this $#%!! what the heck its your guy's problem, if he is fat. does that bother you? can't you guys stand fat pple? i think its time you guys grow up.
