A typical BONG RECIPE rich with high content Carbs- could prove to be healthy if moderately eaten but may not be quite recommend for the weight loss regime because of it's high carbs & calories content due to the usage of the Lentil, Coconut, Ghee etc.
Could be used as a healthy carb plus fat recipe diet if taken- once in a while, or even simply leaving out one of it's basic ingredients while preparing- it maybe turned out into a highly recommended palate for those who wanna upto the low carb dietary restrictions

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
