Answer:
Some of the food items in our everyday meals are given below. Read their
names : rice, moong dal amti, chawali usal, chapatis, jowar bhakari, cabbage
bhaji, pumpkin raita, carrot salad, onion pakodas, garlic chutney, lemon
pickle, yoghurt, papad.
Which of these dishes are served with large spoons or ladles and which ones
with very small spoons ?
Now divide these food items into two groups : those which are eaten in large
quantities and those which are eaten in very small quantities.
Staple food
Chapati, bhakari or rice form a part of
every meal we have. We eat more of these
foods than of the others. Therefore, wheat,
jowar, rice are said to be our staple foods.
However, with chapatis, bhakaris or rice,
we eat several other items which make our
meals tastier. Besides, for reasons of good
health, it is important to include these food
items in our meals.
