10 Food habits that only Punjabi parents teach you


(1) Over-eating treats all kinds of illnesses 



(2) If you don’t over-eat while being invited at a party, your presence is a waste 



(3) ​You’ll be famished at work/school if you didn't eat parathas in the breakfast




(4)If you are not fat, you are considered 'kamzor' (weak). The fatter you are, the healthier you are.



(5) Desi ghee is has no fats. Only 'taqat' (energy)



(6) From boosting stamina to relieving pains, paneer (cottage cheese) is a wonder food





(7) If you didn’t cook Rajma/ Chhole/Kadhi for guests- you haven’t treated them well 



(8) Next best dining place ever (after your home)- Punjabi dhaba on a highway. 

 


(9) Avoid unhealthy items like dosa and pao bhaji. Instead, have samosas or butter naan.





(10) If you are dark-skinned, none will marry you. 
Eating 'white' items like lassi/ milk will make you 'gora' (fair)
