Question

Accepted Answer

Here is the list and the blank table as the book prints them, and then the completed table.

Idli	dosa	rice	sambhar	papad
kheer	samosa	peda	gulab jamun

Methods of cooking	Food
Steaming	Idiyappam

The list of foods and the blank table printed on page 81.

The six ways of cooking shown in pictures on page 81.

Completed table:

Methods of cooking	Food
Steaming	Idiyappam, idli
Boiling	Rice, sambhar, kheer
Roasting	Dosa (on a tawa), papad, peda (the khoya is roasted first)
Frying	Samosa, gulab jamun
Grilling	Add your own: grilled paneer, grilled corn
Baking	Add your own: cake, biscuits, bread

Why it happens: Each method uses heat in a different way — boiling uses hot water, steaming uses the steam above it, frying uses hot oil, and baking and grilling use dry hot air or fire.

Check it yourself: Some foods can be cooked in more than one way. Papad can be roasted or fried, and a dosa can be made with very little oil or with more. Ask at home how it is done in your kitchen and write that answer.

Tip: No food in the printed list is grilled or baked, so the book asks you to add more items yourself. That is why the table has empty rows.
