She would eat all sorts of food how something she the commonly ate was ‘curry chawal’ which is rice and a tomato curry. She was not restricted from anything really. She ate food thrice a day, breakfast when she woke up, lunch was at rundown 1 and inner was at 7 or 8, The ingredients for the dishes were collected by going to a supermarket and not home grown as my nani had to take care of 3 children alone and had no time to attend to things like gardening. she would play badminton down in her building with her friends and the game Khokho.
