South Asia’s food is a love letter to the culinary senses. From the syrupy sweetness of gulab jamun to the spicy crunch of chakli, every bite is a ticket to culinary nirvana. Sweet, savory, tangy, or melt-in-your-mouth divine, these dishes are pure joy and delicious. But for someone like me, this paradise comes with a catch. My family tree is a walking medical chart. Diabetes? Check. High blood pressure? Got it. Fatty liver? Oh, it’s lurking in some obscure branch. If there’s a health issue, we’ve claimed it like a dubious heirloom.
