Answer 2

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.
