× My favorite food, it's choli bhaturi.
✓ My favorite food is chole bhature.
The original uses an extra pronoun 'it's' after a noun phrase, creating redundancy and awkward structure. Also the dish name spelling corrected to 'chole bhature'. Use a simple subject-verb structure: 'My favorite food is ...' so remove the extra pronoun and ensure correct noun form.
× So there's this padura which has a sometimes a filling of cheese in it and it comes with the with the Curry, which is known as choli.
✓ There is a puri that sometimes has a cheese filling, and it is served with the curry called chole.
The original has word order and article repetition issues ('the with the Curry') and incorrect dish names. Fix by using clear noun phrases and consistent verb order: 'There is a puri that sometimes has...' and 'served with the curry called chole.' Avoid unnecessary articles and repeated words.
× And this is one of the most popular food in India as well.
✓ And this is one of the most popular foods in India as well.
The phrase 'one of the most popular' requires the plural noun 'foods'. Use plural after 'one of the' to agree with the expression.
× I like having it. Me and my father, we used to go every.
✓ I like having it. My father and I used to go there regularly.
Use subject pronoun order 'My father and I' instead of 'Me and my father'. The verb phrase 'used to go every' is incomplete; add 'there regularly' or specify frequency. Ensure complete clause.
× So the time when I was young, I really enjoyed having cakes.
✓ When I was young, I really enjoyed eating cakes.
'The time when I was young' is wordy; 'When I was young' is natural. Use 'enjoyed eating' instead of 'enjoyed having' for clarity and collocation.
× I would always ask my parents whenever I did score good in my school, good grades, at my tuition classes, I would always ask them to reward me with the sweet dish, mostly with a cake or a cheesecake.
✓ I would always ask my parents for a reward whenever I got good grades at school or in my tuition classes, usually asking for a cake or a cheesecake.
Original repeats 'I would always ask' and mixes clauses awkwardly. Use 'whenever I got good grades' (past tense) and restructure: 'ask my parents for a reward' and 'usually asking for...' to reduce repetition and improve flow.
× That's what I always.
✓ That's what I always wanted.
Original sentence is incomplete and missing a verb; add 'wanted' to complete the idea and match past context.
× Yes, of course, coming from the Indian subcontinent, our food, it's basically in one of the best world cuisines.
✓ Yes, of course. Coming from the Indian subcontinent, our cuisine is among the best in the world.
Avoid the redundant pronoun 'it's' after noun phrase. Use 'cuisine' instead of 'food' for style and 'among the best in the world' is the correct comparative structure.
× Indian food has so many varieties that in winters at the North Indian states they have their different foods and the South Indian ones they have their different foods basically I like.
✓ Indian food has so many varieties. In winter, North Indian states have different dishes, and South Indian states have their own specialties, which I like.
The original is run-on and uses incorrect pronouns and pluralization ('North Indian states they have'). Break into sentences, use 'winter' (singular) and 'dishes' and 'own specialties'. Clarify final clause: 'which I like.'
× Yes of course being a child I was very fond of desserts and sweets but as I grow up I am becoming very fitness freak and I am understanding that having too much of sugar can really harm your body.
✓ Yes, of course. As a child I was very fond of desserts and sweets, but as I grew up I became more of a fitness enthusiast and realized that eating too much sugar can harm your body.
Tense consistency: use past tense 'as I grew up' and 'became' to match 'was'. 'Fitness freak' is informal; use 'fitness enthusiast' or 'more focused on fitness'. Use 'eating too much sugar' instead of 'having too much of sugar' and 'realized' instead of 'am understanding.'
× And in terms to continue with my fitness I have been really avoiding sweets now and I've concentrated more on salads and sometime on.
✓ To maintain my fitness, I have been avoiding sweets and have focused more on salads and sometimes on fruits.
Use infinitive 'to maintain' rather than 'in terms to continue with'. Use present perfect continuous or present perfect appropriately: 'have been avoiding' is okay, but parallel structure needs 'have focused'. Complete the sentence by specifying 'fruits' instead of leaving it unfinished. Use 'sometimes' before the object or 'sometimes eat'.
