In the Rural Areas of India there is a dish called ‘kooti Annam’. This is mostly preferred by people working in Agricultural fields. The preparation is very simple. The Rice is cooked in the night. It is collected in an Earthen pot. After it becomes cool, water is poured over it. This is left for 3 hours. After that a white cloth is tied around the Earthen Pot . This is kept in a plate and water is poured around the pot. It will be kept for 2 days. On the third day the cloth is removed and the water is collected in a water glass. The Rice is served as breakfast along with Red Chilli Onion chutney. Again the water is poured over the Rice and the cloth is tied. The Rice can be taken as breakfast, lunch, and even as a dinner. This food is an excellent answer for sunstroke.
Whatever may the varieties of food the main purpose of it is to keep us living. This is an indispensable thing for our living.
Food is worshipped in India. It has got a great value in the life of man. The vedas give utmost value for the food and impose many rules as to how it should be cooked, served, and eaten.
Whether one is a millionaire or billionaire he has to take food only for his living. He will not eat gold or silver. This is ultimately for a fistful amount of food so many wars, agreements, and treaties are taking place on the planet Earth.
Such being the importance of Food there are people who waste food. They do not hesitate to throw it on the road . They can give it to the poor and needy. They can at least offer it to the dogs which are found on the streets. At least they can keep it near a tree so that the Birds can have it. But they do nothing. Just throw it on the road which is really a sin. One should always remember that we should learn to eat for living but should not live for eating.
