Imagine a typical Bollywood film scene: the mother is busy cooking the favourite dish of her son, who is coming home after four years. The time frame is unimportant since even if the son was coming home after four hours the mother would still be cooking his favourite dish. These reel lip-smackers include kheer, gajar ka halwa, ladoo, garam jalebees, and even baigan ka bharta. Baigan ka bharta, by the way is Amitabh Bachchan`s favourite reel dish. In films like Aalap and Abhimaan, among others, he has shown a marked preference for the dish.
