1. Do we get all the different constituents
of food from a meal that consists of a
green veg thaalipeeth eaten with
yoghurt?
Which food constituents do we get from
the ingredients used to make bhel?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the flour of thalipeeth there is mixed flour of rice, daals and pulses. This flour gives carbohydrates and proteins. While roasting the thalipeeth, oil or butter is applied to the fry pan. Thus even fats are present in it. If greens are added to the flour, there would be vitamins, minerals like iron and roughage added to the flour. Curds also provide proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. Hence meals consisting of green veg thalipeeth eaten with yoghurt is a complete meal with all the food constituents.

The kurmura in the bhel is a carbohydrate. The grams and peanuts are rich in proteins. The shev is made of gram flour and hence it also contains proteins. Since it is fried, there is a good content of fats too in it. Chutney made from dates have sugars and minerals like iron. Pudina used in bhel is rich in vitamins, minerals, and high in fibre content. If lemon or raw mango is used the vitamin C content is also high.However, if bhel is purchased from a roadside shop, it may have microorganisms and contaminants and it can cause illness.
