For Indians, the phrase ‘Ghar ka khana’ is nothing less than a deep emotion. Ghar ka khana is not just food or sustenance, it is an inextricable constituent of the idea of ‘ghar’ itself. Freddy Birdy, a prominent Internet personality, couldn’t help but wax lyrical about this uniquely Indian sentiment. He talked about a distinct magic that inhabits any home-cooked food which automatically elevates it and nourishes not just the body but also the soul.

You only understand the true value of Ghar ka khana once you’ve stayed away from home and no longer have easy access to it. Be that as it may, Ghar ka khana is still universally loved by Indians. Freddy Birdy recently made a post about this uniquely Indian phenomenon.
He started by asking what makes anyone’s ghar ka khana so simply magical. He talks about how when one is low, all one wants is ghar ka khana. The ingredients and dishes may be ubiquitous but the taste differs from home to home.
He goes on to talk about how in a majority of Indian homes, there will always be many accompaniments along with the meal like papad and achaar. The difference in their variety will depend on where in India you are.
