While there are various attributes necessary to get wealth but it is very simple to have a good health, one of the important factor being the diet habits. Having said that let me add that India is one of the fortunate countries in the world map to being home to many types of cereals, legumes, food crops and millets, which many of the nations have to import from other countries like India. This book explores the exponential benefits of millets, an age old staple food for the millions of Indian, by way of providing various tasty recipes.\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eMillets have very high nutritional content. In rural India, even today, people heavily use millets in their daily diet in the form of porridge, bread, rice etc. While the millets, such as jowar, bajra etc., are generally less expensive compared to cereals, at the same time their health benefits are numerous, thereby providing extra dosage of energy in our day to day life.\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eI would like to acknowledge that inspite of the above cited health benefits, it would be really challenging to instantaneously change the diet regime, say from rice \/ wheat to millets. Considering the same, I have tried to give a variety of millet recipes ranging from rotis, rice, kheer, modak, drinks etc. so that it becomes easier to gradually adopt the millets for the good health of the family over a period of time. The recipes on millets could be used for breakfast, main course, desserts, snacks and even for festivals.\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: rgb(8, 113, 135); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eI hope you would enjoy preparing the dishes and your family and friends would relish it.

It deals with the mistakes that normal people generally make, causing unforeseen troubles and unpleasantness in interpersonal relationships. It hampers one’s competence in whatever is being done. Usually, these are described as gaps in communication or misunderstanding, words which do not focus on the fault and therefore, do not help correction. Polarised rigid stances and meaningless arguments can be avoided if one understands what really goes into the making of these problems. This book is an attempt to create that understanding. This is not attempted as a scholarly treatise and will not therefore, alienate readers who are impatient with heavy research based material. It should, hopefully, help the reader to become more effective in the pursuit of his\/her objectives as an individual, as a member of a group or in an organisation. The book, though not intended to be a philosophical treatise, does explain some of the basic tenets that all prophets and spiritual leaders have been teaching, like attachment, desire and envy, based on misplaced values, being the source of anger and of sorrow, emotions that eat into one’s happiness. –\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shroff Publishers \u0026 Distributors Pvt.

Various initiatives have already taken place, spearheaded by different organisations to define best practices and strategies for the implementation and development of the eProcurement systems and many countries have already introduced eProcurement into their business practices through various business models and approaches. Legislation and political will also plays a very important role in the roll out of eProcurement. The implementation of an eProcurement system is not a short-term ICT project but a business process re-engineering project that should have a long term plan over 10 to 20 years period; it is not just a “quick-fix” system implementation plan. eProcurement requires the highest level of IT expertise. It requires the highest level of physical security, understanding of the procurement procedures, digital security, digital signatures, payment integration, delivery logistics, password protection with captcha, prevention against cyber attacks, backup policy, time stamping syncronisation, solution availability, high speed reliable data circuits and 24 x 7 x 365 secured, safe and reliable hosting environment with Tier IV or above green data centres.

Based on the encouragement received from my earlier books, I have written this book.India is a vast and diverse country with a multifarious culture, tradition and of course cuisines. Each region has its own unique blend of food mainly on account of the vegetables, pulses or other natural items that  re abundantly available in that region. For instance, coconut trees could be spotted in plenty across the eastern and southern parts of India. Similarly, legumes and lentils are grown across western and northern parts. One would naturally come across many coconut preparations from south and east of India while recipes from north and west are incomplete, especially, the main course items, without lentils and legumes. It would also be interesting to know that in those regions where spices are grown, there is generally liking for the people to have more spicy food, like in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka etc.Through this book, an attempt has been made to bring together in one place recipes from various parts of the country. Due to the vastness and the variety of cuisines across various regions of India, the book under this title has been divided into two parts so as to reasonably include some of the important cuisines from each of the region.I hope you would enjoy preparing the dishes and your family and friends would relish it. Wishing you happy and healthy times.About the AuthorI have written several books on culinary items in English and Tamil.I have been writing articles, stories, travelogues, jokes, recipes, real incidents, experiences, poems etc. in various South Indian Tamil magazines.I have also written several books in Tamil on short stories, tips, travelogues, children’s stories etc., many of which are available in online portals.With the continued support of the publisher M\/s Shroff Publishers \u0026amp; Distributors and the encouragement received from the readers, I have, so far, written a series of nine books on culinary items in English. The present book, “Marvels of Indian Regional Cuisines” (Volume – I) is the tenth in the series.May I wish all the readers, their family members and friends all the very best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shroff Publishers \u0026 Distributors Pvt.
