Nutrition, Recipes

Have you had your black coffee buttered and blended ever? Is Bullet-proof Coffee really the energy-igniting elixir they claim it to be? Should it really be a meal replacement? I picked up the Bulletproof coffee from all its rage in 2014-2015. Then it got dropped and people moved on to other things, while I stuck to it. Why? I always liked the idea of black coffee better, rather than the versions where coffee is doused…

Murgh Methi Malai (Chicken cooked in Fenugreek Leaves & Fresh Cheese)
