How many days can you survive without Desi food

Survive may be a strong word, but how many days can you comfortably stay without it ..

I confess that in my case, maybe 4 .. max 5 days .. I need my daal chawal achaar, aaloo gosht and roti, or briyani after that .. that also home cooked, not carry out

oh and on 6th day, if its still not available, what food style would bring you closer to your desi taste .. in my case its Arabic food

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

I can go without desi food for couple months or so and I think I have been too....

what kind of food were you eating then?

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

prolly 2 or three days max.

i rather stay on hunger strike than go for other choha billy cuisines. and i cant eat carry outs.

and i think pizza comes near to my desi taste and pocket size.

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

I like eating other non desi stuff, sure. But after a vacation, I like to come home and have simple desi khana.

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

hhaha lusi i am just kidding, healthy eating is healthy eating..:salute:

If I had a choice, I would not stay away for more than couple of meals. But if on vacation or whatever, I could not bear more than a week. I would feel sort of withdrawal symptoms and will look for desi food items in nearby area.
I think its the masala, red pepper and pita which gives the addiction of desi food. However, for some reason even mexican spicy food is not good enough.

I must admit I have eaten a little desi food at home even after having been invited to non-desi house or resturant.

At times I prefer staying at full kitchen hotel just to be able to make simple desi food at leisure.

After eating so many international food I found there is nothing better than desi food. !:yummy:

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

A couple of weeks max… but I could give up on it for longer if I have the option of eating mediterranean everyday… that stuff is scrumptious! :yummy:

The most I can survive without eating desi food is 4-5 days. And especially home cooked desi food. Desi food from restaurants is yummy, BUT after a while it starts become heavy and you get sick of it....and start longing for the simple taste of homemade saluns. I remember when my mom and dad (they both cook, hehe) went to Pak to attend my cousin's wedding......my siblings and I had pizza, Olive Garden, food from Indian restaurants. It was getting overwhelming....and all we wanted when my parents came back was.......good ole' homemade DAAL!

So howmany days can a fish stay out of water?..:konfused:


I prefer left over salan for breakfast…:k:

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

First 2 1/2 months. then 6 months. But in those 6 months i would try making desi food on my own and it'd come out just bad.

You must be making my Niki didi too tired.

Me no servive at all without desi food. I don't mind take out or home made.

I can servive with like mithai, Ice cream, papay, sawiyaaan waghaira waghaira.

Re: How many days can you survive without Desi food

^^ abay Niki Didi herself cant stay without it for more than 4-5 days ...

Sind Saagar, I also love raat ka saalan with ghee lagee rotee ya parathaa for breakfast
