But Prabhleen Sandhu of Aapki Antara loves pani puri and keeps fit by
walking. Her busy schedule doesn’t allow her to hit the gym. She says
she eats to live and avoids eating street food.
Read on as Prabhleen shares her food cravings with TellyChakkar.
Personal fitness mantra: I don’t follow any. I just ensure I eat healthy. I start my day with a glass of water.
Diet mantra: Having breakfast is a must for me.
Exercise routine: I hardly get time to hit the gym but I brisk walk after lunch and also at night if I get the time.
Is food the elixir of life?
No, I eat to live and not live to eat.
Are you a foodie?
It depends on my mood sometimes I hog a lot and sometimes I don’t.
Are you a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?
Non- vegetarian. But on specific week-days I only eat vegetarian.
Favourite cuisine: Indian, Chinese.
Favourite dish: Kaali dal and chawal but now I have cut down on rice,so just dal and chapati.
Favourite restaurant: Wild Dining (Oshiwara), Barbeque Nations(Bandra) and for non-vegetarian I like Bade Miyan in town.
A must on my breakfast table: Milk and coffee with sugar.
Lunch is: Chapati and a bowl of dal which I take from home and when I don’t, I just eat a salad.
For evening chai, you would prefer: Pani puri
Dinner is: A light dinner with soup and salad. I avoid rice in the night.
Dessert delights: Any ice-cream.
One thing I can’t resist: Chocolates.
My favourite drink (non-alcoholic): Mixed fruit juice.
My favourite drink (alcoholic): I don’t drink.
At parties I have: I rarely attend parties and if I do I have ice-creams.
Most unusual dish I’ve tasted: Mexican rice with some kind of sauce which I don’t remember, it was awful.
Experiment with food: I do a lot of that but what I mostly do is take a bowl of curd, add crushed bhajiya, salt, lime juice, green chillies and coriander. Amazing!
On the streets, I love to have: Nothing, I fall sick
Do you cook?
Sometimes, it depends on the mood and if I have time.
