Most people have only two meals a day. They mainly eat rotis, sometimes only rotis. It’s interesting how just ‘Rota/Roti’ is referred as a meal here. Whenever I carry khichdi or Poha for lunch, I’ve been asked several times by different people, “Arey khana nahi khaoge?”. While a meal is seen to be incomplete without roti, it is also important to note that many people eat only rotis, leading to an imbalanced diet. -Priyanshu shares her field experiences from the first month at Basic HealthCare Services.
