When it comes to food, Sanju Samson is not at all fussy when it comes to food. He enjoys food without any particular likes or dislikes. However, fitness comes first as far as what he is eating is concerned. Like all other sports stars, Sanju Samson also follows a strict diet that focusses on maintaining the perfect body ratio.
Sanju says that he is generally very 'soft' in matters related to food. Overeating had always been a no-no. Right from childhood, Sanju has followed a diet that helps to maintain fitness.
But, ask him which is his most favourite food and pat comes the reply – kappa (tapioca) and fish curry. Like most of the Malayalis, Sanju will also swear by his kappa and fish, whichever be the fish available.
The love for kappa and fish had started during his childhood days in Delhi. If it's cooked by his mother Liji, it is a double bonanza. So, whenever Sanju is at home, his mother would invariably cook up the favourite dish. Sanju says that it's the kappa and fish curry cooked by his mother that he misses most during travels.
Sanju's parents never forget to add as much fruits and vegetables as possible to his menu. Liji always tries to make salads with various kinds of fruits. Oily food is avoided, as a rule. And drinking milk everyday is a must. His father, Samson Viswanath, used to get buffalo milk for his children while the family was living in Delhi.
