“My Simple Pejje Jevana Veg. Thali No~ 429 : Bajjile Mirsange Happolu (Roasted Chilly Papad), Vali ani Bikkanda Talasani (Malabar Spinachi- Jackfruit Seed Bhaji), Limbiya Kanchi (Salt preserved Lemon), Kani Tambado Ukde Tandla Pejja (Kerala Matta Broken Boiled Red Rice Porridge) topped with homemade Cow’s Ghee (Toop)” … a heavy meal at functions though enjoyed needs to be followed by simple meal next day to balance the tummy rumblings; you know those gudgudu sounds … for me there is nothing that works better than leafy veggies, rice porridge with a dollop of ghee, ajwain- jeera water … lol, that’s what I am enjoying for the day … try it, if need be, it’s a perfect way to give some relief to your tummy … Yummilicious …
** I am sure many of us go overboard on delicacies served at functions, frankly I am not able to resist despite sending warnings to brain to stop all through the meal. The mind and heart both say in unision just a little bit more, you can skip meals tomorrow and before I realize my tummy is full, no its actuall overloaded. Back home I am feeling too full and can’t go back to work, that’s it, I take a good nap (snnnoozzzeeeee) only to wake up a little bit low on battery level. I pop some hajmolla, prepare myself soda with jaljira and try relaxing my tummy, well there is always great relief on munching ajwain.
** I then go on an intermittent fasting of about 16-18 hours and then drink my cup of adraki chai (ginger tea) with 2-3 biscuits. I then keep my mouth shut for another 5-6 hours, followed later by a simple meal of Pejje Jevana (Rice Porridge) or Doodha SheetHa (Rice with milk) along with some papad, bhaji and pickle. This gives me relief and by another 5 hours I am fit and fine. It took me a good 26-30 hours but I bounce back fit and fine, not that I have felt sick or unfit through the whole process, just heavy beginnings that wears off as the time passes, that’s all and trust me this does give happiness.
** I guess we all need to take this break from time to time and though I am not a diet person or one who likes to starve much, I sure try to follow this method of mine these days when I have had a full delicacy meal with variety of dishes. Pejje Jevana is the best of all times handed down to us through generations and we all are aware that Amma knows the best and this is exactly what they too would suggest.

** For “Bajjile Mirsange Happolu (Roasted Chilly Papad)”, there is no recipe as such, I just roasted on open flame the store bough happolu/ chilly papad and served it immediately. You can apply a thin film of coconut oil over the roasted papad for added taste which is a followed pattern by GSB’s. It’s a personnel choice.
