Question

Q.1 Read the passage carefully:
Most Indians live on very plain diets based on staples
such as rice, in the East and South, chapattis that is
flat wheat bread in north and north east, and bajra that
is millet in the Maharashtra region.
Many Indian meals are cooked in ghee that is clarified
butter. Ghee is made by heating butter to boil off water,
then allowing it to cool and separate. Ghee is scooped
off the top. Although many Indians have simple
diets. India has an ancient and varied tradition of fine
cooking. Curries are sauce dishes made with basic
Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red
pepper. The word curry comes from the Tamil Kari, or
sauce. The basis of a curry is masala, a mix of spices,
often blended with water or vinegar to make a paste.
South Indian vegetable curries are seasoned
with hot blends like sambhar powder. Classic
North Indian Mughal dishes are often lamb or
chicken based, and seasoned with milder garam
masala. An Indian meal is rarely served on a
single plate. Instead, it comes in different dishes
which diners dip into.
