Instant pill or Butter pill?

Instantaneous instant ramen in your left hand. Buttery butter chicken in your right hand. What would you choose? Instant ramen may be an addictive food, but that’s all you can say about it. Without adding multiple ingredients, it is rather bland actually. Further, the amount of sodium a pack of instant ramen contains is concerning. At approximately 1600 milligrams of sodium, that’s ⅔ of your daily amount. Furthermore, the nutritional value of instant ramen is practically zero, so you shouldn’t count on a pack of instant ramen to get your nutrients. Instant ramen is basically a brick of salt and flour that is mixed together.

On the other hand, butter chicken is an exquisite delicacy. Hailing from India, the chicken is first infused with tons of spices and flavors like lemon juice, yogurt, Kashmiri red chili, salt, garam masala, ginger, and garlic to create a symphony of taste. After the intense marination, the chicken gets cooked in a tandoor, which is a clay oven. The deep pit creates a rich, slightly smoky aroma that is tempered by the velvety curry. The curry itself is made of tomatoes, garlic, ginger and tons of spices such as cardamom, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper, garam masala, and dried fenugreek leaves. Your tastebuds will be forced to sing, no, they would cry when they first come in contact. Better yet, it's great for people who workout in the gym that are trying to bulk up as it has a solid amount of protein and calories. In fact, it’s also good for people who don’t go to the gym because it also nourishes the soul. Personally, when I first tried butter chicken, I was skeptical because of the appearance. But, right when my mouth touched the sauce, I was in love with the tomato flavor. The encounter went something like this:

Me: You look very suspicious. 

Butter Chicken: Don’t worry, I have candy in my big white van that is parked in the back. Just kidding. But seriously, try me.

Me: I don’t think I talk to strangers

Butter Chicken: But, you know who I am right?

Me: Indeed I do.

Butter Chicken: So try, then decide

Me: Fine

Butter Chicken: Do I taste good?

Me: WOW! You taste godly. I’m sorry that I doubted your words.
