Straight From Pan to Plate !!!!

Hello Friends,

Recently, I heard one of Sadguruji’s video on Culinary and Cooking skills. I heard a lovey phrase, which became the Today's Topic:” STRAIGHT FROM PAN TO PLATE"

Our ancestors were not so literate, but definitely learnt through their experience and observation. I was lucky to have my Grand-mom (DADI around. Her wise cooking skills, Home remedies were unmatchable and so to the point, that kept me pondering on the amount of and quality of Knowledge.

I want to emphasize here, the benefits of our age-old Indian Culture for Food, Cooking, Storage and Diet & Nutrition. The best thing that has happened in this Pandemic is the Come-back of the same and time - tested Food, Diet and Medicine Models.

Facts and Problem:-

Today's fast and busy lifestyle, has given new dimensions to Food and Diet for people. Be it Fast Food or Street Food or Cold Foods or Stale Food or Packaged Foods or Pre-Mix foods or Instant Mix Foods or Storage Foods in Refrigerator, Freezers

Today's habit to store food, chutneys, sauces in refrigerators has only added problems to our health.

If you do not agree, then try this simple exercise. Do you need more of spicy and tanginess to the already properly cooked food with proper spices? Do you get cravings for something more "Chat-patta Foods" now and then?  Do you feel the need to add some more tanginess to your food?

If the answer is Yes, then let me introduce to you the fact that it’s because of the extra acidic and toxic levels of your current food, the loosing of sense of Taste has occurred gradually without our notice. There is a coating on your tongue, which makes you feel that the food is not spicy and you need to add more spices, tangy sauces on it.

So, the complaints of Acidity, Constipation, Indigestion, Irregular sleeps, Loss of Appetite has increased in Maximum people today.

Major problems are due to Food, Diet and Nutrition Mis-management and Improper Cooking styles.

Solution:-

Now, lot of research papers have come up by many companies here in India and abroad, stating which utensils are good for cooking, the medicinal herbs and spices used in cooking, correct way of cooking, etc. To the irony, we already in India, have these written in our scriptures.

Here, I come to my topic – “Straight from Pan to Plate” It means, “Eat Freshly Cooked Food than Stale and Stored Foods”.

In Developed countries and now in India too, we have seen that this above concept has eluded over the period. So, it’s always a good practice to follow the Correct Cooking Style, Correct Food habits, Correct Dietary Regimen, Correct Use of Fresh, Organic Foods, spices, Oil, Ghee, etc

It is important to understand the importance of our precious Life, our Health over all the Materialistic things. We should not compromise on our Health. Thus, don’t be lethargic or give an excuse of busy work schedules for Storing cooked foods, use of packaged foods, etc.

It is always beneficial to adapt to Healthy living. Consuming Freshly cooked foods should be a part of your Health & Diet Regimen. Many Vegetables like Cabbage, Lady-finger, gourds cause gastric problems, if cooked in less oil, more of water, partly cooked, eaten stale or kept refrigerated even overnight.

Hence, follow this rule of consuming cooked food straight from Pan to plate and say no to storage, refrigeration, unhealthy dietary regimen. This Concept is one of the many dietary changes we require to make today for Healthy life and Disease -free Body.
