The host shares a personal practice of saying 'this too shall pass' during both difficult and content moments to stay present, then closes by encouraging viewers to try kadi pakora and appreciate its contrasts. This wraps up the emotional lesson alongside the culinary recommendation.
This is kadi pakora and it has to be one of my favorite Indian curries. Though you may have never heard about it, it's probably hidden on the menu at one of your favorite Indian restaurants as curry pakora. It has a unique blend of rich flavor with a sour tang that really makes it. This dish reminds me of the contrast that exists in life. No matter who we are, there will always be sour times we have to get through, but that may not always be a bad thing. There are some cliches out there like making lemonade out of lemons, or that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
And as cliche as they may be, there is some truth there. If we did not have hard times, how could we know what happiness and contentment feel like? Life is like floating on an ocean. We know the waves will come, but they'll also pass. At certain times, the water may be rougher than others. There's a therapy known as dialectical behavioral therapy, also known as DBT, and it's for individuals that suffer with emotional regulation and harmful coping behaviors like cutting. DBT teaches A multitude of coping skills to help these individuals who may seem chronically unhappy with the tools to make life worth living.
One of those tools is known as riding the wave, remembering that when powerful negative emotions arise, it will pass, and sometimes just knowing that helps you get through the rough waters. I try to remember that when the universe puts hard times in my direction that this too shall pass. When good things are happening and I feel contentment, I also say this too shall pass, reminding me to be present and enjoy it. I hope you try Kadi Bakora and experience the beautiful contrast it has to offer.
