Carbohydrates sooths one mentally, inducing proper sleep and rest, increases stamina and uplifts sagging spirits - which is why a bowl of your favourite kadhi chawal or rajma rice feels so comforting. In general carbohydrates help release serotonin which is a brain neurotransmitter that relaxes you. You will find it in foods like rice, pasta, potatoes, breads and popcorn. So have your fill.

  • Rice in Lotus Leaf Simple steamed rice mixed it with some mushrooms, peppers and delicious herbs. This gets a brand new unique flavour once you steam them nicely enclosed in lotus leaves! If you find lotus leaves hard to get, use banana leaves instead – tastes just as good!
