After eating a particularly heavy dish or meal, many of us naturally find ourselves feeling drowsy. Some people purposely avoid certain foods because of this tendency. After all, long working days mostly afford no time for a post-lunch nap! Many Indian dishes are particularly known to induce this kind of "food coma", and one of them is the beloved North Indian combo of chole bhature. Recently, an Australian vlogger's reel on the same topic went viral on Instagram and resonated with many desi foodies.
