From its comforting taste to the love with which it is made, home-cooked food always scores well against fast food. Dishes prepared by our loved ones at home never get boring and bring back memories with just one bite. No matter how much we grow up, we always remain a fan of the food cooked by our mother. And, it seems actress Nimrat Kaur is no different. In her Instagram Stories, she shared a glimpse of her homely lunch that features a complete desi meal. We can see sarson ka saag topped up with some butter, paired with bajre ki roti, some chopped onions, and “shalgam and gaajar ka achaar (turnip and carrot pickle)”. And, of course, lots of love too. Nimrat Kaur's mother can also be seen busy in kitchen preparing the delicious food. “Magic on my plate. Magician in the background,” the text on the photo read. Take a look:
