Updated Menu 02.12.19 Kappa Chakka Kandhari Nostalgia on your Plate... Lazy summer afternoons under the 'naattu maavu'... The mad scrambles for the falling 'manga pazham'... The crazy dives into the 'kudumba kulam'... The perpetual chirping of the 'cheeveedu'... The sudden pitter-patter of heavy 'mazha thullikal'... The invigorating smell of 'putthan mannu'... The enchantment of water drops rolling off the 'chembu illakal'... The lowing of cows from the 'kannukaali thozhuthu'... The divine aromas wafting in from 'amma’s adukkala'...

  • Where the Flavours of the World Meet: Malabar As a Culinary Hotspot
    UGC Approval No:40934 CASS-ISSN:2581-6403 Where The Flavours of The World Meet: CASS Malabar As A Culinary Hotspot Asha Mary Abraham Research Scholar, Department of English, University of Calicut, Kerala. Address for Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The pre-colonial Malabar was an all-encompassing geographical area that covered the entire south Indian coast sprawling between the Western Ghats and Arabian Sea, with its capital at Kozhikkode. When India was linguistically divided and Kerala was formed in 1956, the Malabar district was geographically divided further for easy administration. The modern day Malabar, comprises of Kozhikkode, Malappuram and few taluks of Kasarkod, Kannur, Wayanad, Palakkad and Thrissur. The Malappuram and Kozhikkod region is predominantly inhabited by Muslims, colloquially called as the Mappilas. The term 'Malabar' is said to have etymologically derived from the Malayalam word 'Malavaram', denoting the location by the side of the hill. The cuisine of Malabar, which is generally believed to be authentic, is in fact, a product of history and a blend of cuisines from all over the world. Delicacies from all over the world blended with the authentic recipes of Malabar, customizing itself to the local and seasonal availability of raw materials in the Malabar Coast. As an outcome of the age old maritime relations with the other countries, the influence of colonization, spice- hunting voyages and the demands of the western administrators, the cuisine of Malabar is an amalgam of Mughal (Persian), Arab, Portuguese,, British, Dutch and French cuisines. Biriyani, the most popular Malabar recipe is the product of the Arab influence.

  • Preparation of Low Cost Recipe for Growing Children: Ragi Puttu J
    Vol.1 Issue-4, December 2020 Preparation of low cost recipe for growing children: Ragi Puttu J. Hemalatha1, Dr. Afifa Jahan2 1B.Sc. Community Science, PJTSAU, 2Scientist, KVK Palem, Nagar Kurnool ARTICLE: 028 The Nutritional requirement of children (2-6 years) increases as there is increased activity and growth when compared to earlier life. To meet these requirements nutritious recipes which are of low cost are to be prepared. The ingredients used in the recipes should be locally available so that all the socio- economic groups can easily prepare. Ragi Puttu is one of the low cost recipe made in India with Ragi flour, jaggery and Green gram flour. Literature Review Eleusine coracana is the scientific name of Ragi or Finger millet. In India it is also known Mandua, Kelvaragu, Ragulu, Nachni, Bavto, Mandhal, etc. Nutritionally, finger millet is good source of nutrients especially of calcium, other minerals and fiber. Total carbohydrate content of finger millet has been reported to be in the range of 72 to 79.5% (Bhatt et al., 2003). It is highly nutritious, and versatile, and can be cooked like rice, ground to make porridge or flour. The fiber content in Ragi helps to solve many gastrointestinal problems such as Constipation, Intestinal gas and flatulence and abdominal distention. Finger millet has the higher amount of calcium (344 mg) and potassium (408 mg). Calcium helps in keeping bones and teeth healthy. It has higher dietary fiber, minerals, and sulphur containing amino acids compared to white rice, the current major staple in India (Shobana et al., 2013). Jaggery is also called as Gur in India.

  • Survey of Edible Plants for Human Consumption in South Odisha, India
    © 2020 JETIR December 2020, Volume 7, Issue 12 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Survey of edible plants for human consumption in south Odisha, India Sibangini Misra Guest lecturer Department of Botany, Ramadevi Women University, Bhubaneswar- 751005. Abstract: The present paper reports the edible plant species of south Odisha, India. Total 243 edible plant species under 178 genera and 80 families are reported. Out of the total taxa collected, 240 taxa are angiosperms, 2 are pteridophytes and one is gymnosperm. Various ethnic groups and rural people consume 184 wild plants, 35 species that are wild as well as cultivated and 24 plants are under cultivation. The taxa include 208 dicots, 32 monocots and 2 pteridophyte species and one gymnosperm. The edible plants include 102 herbs, 61 shrubs, 15 twiner or climber and 65 tree species. Suggestion has been made for improvement and cultivation of wild edible plants. Key words: ethnic group, edible plants, edible part consumed, south Odisha. 1. Introduction WEPs play an important role in ensuring food security and improve the nutrition in the diets of many people in the developing countries. Many wild edible plants are nutritionally rich and can supplement nutritional requirements, especially vitamins and micronutrients [1,19]. Therefore, wild food resources reduce the vulnerability of local communities to food insecurity and provide a buffer in times of food shortage [10]. Among the indigenous forest food plants, the edible plant species play a vital role in supplementing the food requirements of rural/tribal people in remote areas through preserved/stored food stuffs during the time of food shortage.

Faye Remedios talks to the experts to nd out more about the ancient microbes You have to wonder about the recent buzz in fermented foods when you know that fermentation has, in fact, been used across different cultures and communities for thousands of centuries. With health and complexion-enhancing benefits galore, why hasn’t https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-miscellaneous/tp-others/supercharge-your-food/article30475465.ece 1/4 1/13/2020 Supercharge your food - OTHERS - The Hindu this been a mainstay in our diets, constantly? Turns out, it has, indeed, been to quite a large extent. The difference being that now people are no longer making the same quantities of these foods at home but instead, are relegating these traditional techniques to factory production in order to get the gut, vitality and skin-boosting abilities they offer. Folklore often associates certain foods with longevity, writes Sandor Ellix Katz in his book, Wild Fermentation . As an example of this, he lists a 20th century study done by Nobel laureate Elie Metchnikoff on the yogurt-eating centenarians of the Balkans, which concluded that these foods were responsible for postponing old age. “Fermentation organisms’, he explains, “produce alcohol, lactic acid and acetic acid, all “bio-preservatives” that retain nutrients and prevent spoilage. Vegetables, fruits, milk, fish and meat are highly perishable, and our ancestors used whatever techniques they could discover to store foods from seasons of plenty for later consumption.” From miso to mead, humans have learnt to culture and curdle foods to extend and magnify their nutritional and healing powers.

  • Antimicrobial Activity Studies of Bactoriocin Produced by Lactobacilli Isolates from Carrot Kanji
    OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences 12 (1): 6-10, 2012 ISSN 1608-4217 © 2012 Sowani and Thorat, This open access article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 3.0 license Antimicrobial Activity Studies of Bactoriocin Produced by Lactobacilli Isolates from Carrot Kanji 1Harshada M. Sowani and 2Prakash Thorat 1Walchand Centre for Biotechnology, Walchand College of Arts and Science, Solapur, MS, India 2Department of Microbiology and Research Center, Shri Shivaji Mahavidyalaya, Barshi-413 411 Dist-Solapur, MS, India Abstract: Problem statement: In the present study, Staphylococcus aureus a causative agent of food poisoning is selected as a test organism to study the antimicrobial effect of bacteriocin. S. aureus produces number of exotoxins and enterotoxins which enters the body via contaminated food causing illness. Approach: In this case the use of antibiotics is one of the ways of treatment, but in addition to this if we advise such patients to consume the carrot kanji then it will cause better effect because carrot kanji is the naturally fermented food beverage consisting of microflora mainly the Lactobacilli. Results: The Lactobacilli have ability to produce antimicrobial compounds called bacteriocin. Isolation of bacteriocin was carried out from the naturally fermented carrot kanji. The bacteriocin produced by Lactobacilli was dialysed and used for the further studies. The well diffusion method is used to study the antimicrobial activity, effect of temperature, pH, enzymes on bacteriocin. From the diameter of zone of inhibition the activity of bacteriocin was determined. The sensitivity of bacteriocin at different pH range showed that at neutral pH the diameter of inhibition zone was greater than that at alkaline as well as acidic pH.
