Rice

Daal-Chawal

Sambar-Chawal
Dahi-Chawal
Chana-Chawal
Rajma-Chawal
Curry-Chawal
Kadhi-Chawal,
The delicious
Buttered rice
And also plain
Rice.

Just like
Plain chapattis,
I also like
Plain rice.

All sorts of
Rice dishes
I like.

What is there
Not to like?! :)

My friends and family
Cannot relate to me
Having plain rice and
Plain chapattis but often
I don't feel like having
Any add-ons, simply
Enjoying everything
Plain, even plain idlis
Without sambar or
Chutneys.

But that shouldn't
Be surprising, as
You know, I am a
Plain Jane :-)
