Good question. Hindi speakers tend to avoid the passive voice unless it is necessary. The passive voice is more
Negation common in more formal Hindi, and it is usually used when the agent is unspecified. So, in your example
[-] Idiomatic Verbs sentence, a native speaker would most likely say "मैं जो खाना पकाता हूँ इसका स्वाद अच्छा है", i.e. "the food I cook tastes
जाना nice". The syntax of relative pronouns is different in Hindi than in English. In English, relative clauses are often
चुकना parenthetical, e.g. "the food (that I cook) tastes good". In Hindi, relative pronouns are correlative, i.e. they come
िमलना in pairs, e.g. "जो ... वह = (इस)" in the example sentence. The relative pronoun often goes right before the word it
modifies, which is different than English, where the relative pronoun goes after the word it modifies; other word
चाहना
orders are possible, but less common. Hindi speakers also tend to use participles for passive sentences. So, a
चािहये
native speaker might prefer to say "मेरे द्वारा पकाये जाने वाले खाने का स्वाद अच्छा है". This is a bit closer to English - it is
सकना literally "the cooked-by-me-food tastes good". Now, to answer your question: it is certainly possible to combine
देना the passive voice and a habitual verb; for instance, we could say "जो खाना वहां पकाया जाता है इसका स्वाद अच्छा है". This
पाना is grammatically correct; however, it is not idiomatic Hindi. Some speakers might say something like "वहां पकाये
लगना जाने वाले खाने का स्वाद अच्छा है". Ask your Hindi-speaking acquaintance if she agrees.
