Father’s Day Special | Achaari Kitchari Recipe

“I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection,” is a famous quote by Sigmund Freud. Standing as a pillar of strength and care, blanketing us from the toxic world like a shield, are the fathers- the superheroes of our life. Hiding their tears and fears, backing the family with utter grace and love, Father ‘an ordinary man’ turn into a role model in each of our lives. With this being said, it’s time to thank our father for his unequaled sacrifices, embrace his responsibility of nurturing and raising children, and for his devotion to family.

Enjoy the meal with your dad and spend a good time reminiscing some peerless childhood memories together. This will surely turn out to be one of the best Father’s Day gifts for him.
