Answer 2

Cooking is being practiced since times immemorial. Do you know that the

ancient man ate only raw food? Once a piece of meat fell into the fire

accidentally and got roasted. The ancient man ate this piece of roasted meat

and liked it. Thus began the process of cooking. It has evolved a lot since then.

You find a variety of food items like roti, puri, parantha, rice, pulao, pulses,

vegetable, salad, chutney, pickle, curd, butter milk, fruits, etc. You notice that

boiled rice tastes different from zeera rice or pea pulao because these are

cooked differently. Similarly, a chapatti tastes different from a puree or

parantha, again because all these are cooked differently. Generally, vegetables

like tomatoes, cucumber and fruits are best eaten raw while wheat, rice,

pulses, potatoes and other vegetables must be cooked. Do you know why?

In this lesson you will get familiarized with the reasons for cooking food,

different methods of cooking, their suitability to different foods and effect of

these methods on food items.
