If so…suggest me some simple foods? :bummer: I know khichri is one (if anyone can post a recipe i’d appreciate it!!!) what else?

Hmm, it can depend upon who is saying it. If it’s a doctor or someone whom you know has some special diet requirements, then “simple” refers to food that is easy to digest, not rich/heavy/spicy, etc.

^Apart from the above exceptions, I take simple to mean somthing that doesn’t require much prep time. Example:

Khichri

Daal

aaloo goshth

keema

etc

Re: Simple foods

my mom always tell me simple khana pakao and by this she means use simple procedure and simple spices.

she says that many recipes taught by chefs on cooking channels are deliberately made difficult just to make them look unique/different.
