  1. Hetal you looked so uncomfortable, understandable since you are vegetarian. If you all are going to branch out to beef maybe just have Anuja do those videos.

    1. I was not always a vegetarian but gave it up when I was much younger because I did not like the taste of meat. I’m the only vegetarian in my family so I do cook meat for them.
