A brief timeline of freshman year and your complicated relationship with Indian food.
Leaving for college and finally being free from the rotis and subzis you mightve been eating every day, but your mom keeps trying to give you Tupperware:
Eating all the non-spicy food like grilled cheese you didn't get for months:
You don't have to eat the pickles or the gross subzis you didn't like anymore, and it feels so good:
Trying to explain what homemade Indian food tastes like:
When people say the cafeteria food is too spicy:
WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT FRESH DHOKLA:
Subtly hinting to your mom you want Indian food and her laughing at how you didn't want any before:
When you break down and buy Maggi or some packaged Indian meal:
When you decide that you'll order something online, then looking at the bill:
Finally getting home and having a full Indian meal:
All I'm saying is nothing beats hot puri, and make sure to thank whoever cooks the food in your house.
