Comfort food

Indians will go on and on about dal (lentils) and rice being their comfort food. If you’re from the North the lentils will become rajma (beans) and if you go south, perhaps curds. This bemuses me. I grew up in a kitchen where to eat any of the above was a sacrifice. If at all, we ate the above only on Fridays, because it was a day of abstinence in the Catholic Church.
Comfort food for me is loin beef chops in a red curry, potato chops (beef mince and mashed potato merged in a patty) and a vegetable.
