I noticed that many people from all over the world want to know what Punjabi people eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I even searched this topic online and it showed that Punjabi people eat mustard greens (sarson ka saag), chana masala, Nan, Chole kulcha, Halwa poori, Bhatoora, and Falooda, but this is not all because mustard greens are a seasonal dish and other are heavy, you cannot eat these dishes daily.
I am living in Punjab, so I know more about what Punjabi people like to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Punjabi people are very strong in body and mind. They eat a healthy and natural diet that is rich in protein, nutrition, fiber, and fat. They do physical work and exercise that help them to digest the food.
