We can always count on Twitter to be the best place to go if you’re in need of a mood booster (or in many occasions, the best place to avoid if you’re definitely not in the mood to see the dark side of humanity). But this time, we got an amazing treat with a hilarious discussion about what are the desi comfort foods every user loves.
We absolutely have to jump in to a discussion like this because we know that everyone has that one comfort dish you could never live without. Whether it is a simple bowl of daal with the side of rice, a plate of aloo biryani or even mooli ka paratha, doesn’t matter. Because nothing can take away the blues the way your comfort meal can.
Twitter user dezgostang shared a hilarious quip asking her followers to open up about their go-to-meals, that they could have at any occasion.
“girls what’s your comfort food? I don’t mean outside food I mean home food, something that will fix your life,” they wrote.
And people came forward with some of the best suggestions.
Daal Chawal and desi people: a never-ending love affair
First of all, we are so happy that the majority of the bird app definitely agrees that daal chawal is the best kind of comfort food. You can have it any time, and feel like you’ve enjoyed a five-star meal.

i think it has to be daal chaawal. Like the most basic kind. Orr j simple roti bhindi. Sometimes i’m too tired even for a lot of flavour or complexity of food. Simplicity is a need to cure discomfort.

And then comes aloo keema, which we have to completely agree with.

We also got some other responses that we can definitely align with. Biryani is a great comfort dish and so is also pakora curry, biryani or also chapli kabab with the side of rice and a salad.

There are some who have like really absurd choices like this one but we’re not going to judge (low key we are).
