I saw this video featuring street food in the old and very congested part of my city (Allahabad) I come here sometimes to buy spices and groceries. These two guys from the TV show, Highway On My Platter are travelling all over India exploring all kinds of eating places from roadside dhabas (kiosks) to moderately priced restaurants. They have published a very delectable book by the same name which I wish to buy.
This is the famous Loke-Nath street.
Today' s newspaper tells me that eating hot spicy curries can help one lose weight. Scientists say that cayenne pepper, the key ingredient in hot curries raises body temperature which helps burn calories (Daily Express). They also found that appetite levels decreased in subsequent meals.
Well , I like a hot green chili or two with my food.
Hope that helps me shed a few pounds.
But too much spicy and hot food can give you stomach ulcers , moderation should be exercised.

We' ve had rain showers now and then with stretches of hot and humid days.
Our garden and church campus is sprouting wild grass and shrubs. Its a struggle to keep it clean and under control.
Sin and short comings sprout up in our hearts and we have to spot them and root them out before they take root.
We have a promise in the BIBLE
For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law but under grace.
Romans 6:14
6 Fertilize my soul:
Amrita, I always enjoy reading your blog and hearing about your life. I agree about spices and hot foods; a little bit is good. That food book sounds like a great resource to have.
dear amrita..bernie and i both had to lose weight..i had to because my walking was getting too hard..not vanity is why i wanted to lose..bernie had to because being too big in the tummy is really a health hazard.
anyways, we had heard that green tea is good to take...for a half a year we have been sipping it and we each lost thirty pounds.
now me...i could go for those hot green peppers from india...so good!...bernie wouldn't look a hot pepper in the eye but he sure does eat a lot of big red radishes!
they are so huge this year that he thinks they are apples!..an apple is one other thing he wouldn't look in the eye!..ha!
amrita, the last part of your post will go in good sometime over at the sisters, eh?
now THAT is what i call true...
love terry
Hi Terra,I wouldn 't recommend hot spices for you. I know it would not agree with you. But mild spices for westerners are OK.
I know a lady from South Carolina who enjoyed chillies in Allahabad and a Ger,man girl too. I was so surprised when they asked for chilli with their food.
Dearest Terry,
You are trim, don' t lose too much weight my dear, unless its for health reasons.
I know what spices are to Canadians. No-no stay way from them.
I 'd love those red radishes. We grow them in winter - they are mild and sweet. Our white radishes are hot , some of them, but the daikon variety are mild.
Thanks for telling me about gree tea. We always drink green tea in the evenings.
What kind of green tea is it Terry? Is it the Darjeeling tea or some other kind.?
Romans 7 is also a good commentary on our dailky spiritual weed cleaning.
spotting sin, i came across a list of them... here's a few: ingratitude, neglect of bible reading, prayerlessness, pride, neglect of family, slander, robbing God.
These can all be done by 10am on some days..
Weight loss! Uhg! Eating plan:
Eat like a king at breakfast
Eat like a prince for lunch
Eat like a pauper for dinner
with healthy snacks in-between.
Hi Becky, good to have you visit.
Yes, advise about meals is very wise. But somehow it works the other way. Our eating habits should change and cooking too.
Reducing salt in my cooking has also been felpful for me.
