Pulikachal and Rasam
Pulikachal is a famous dish made in south India. The main ingredients are tamarind and sesame oil. It can be mixed with rice and eaten. It can be eaten with chappatis too.
Rasam is also a famous dish made in south India. The main ingredients are tamarind and ghee. It can be eaten only with rice. However, sambar which is closely related to rasam can be eaten with chappatis. Because sambar contains dal (pulses or legumes).
Rasam needs water for preparation. The water gets about halved in cooking. For areas with water scarcity, pulikachal will be more suitable especially for rice eaters.
One contribution which our country will ever remember is the mid-day meal schemes of government for school going children. Now, they have included eggs too.

Chess rating 2000+
My rating has climbed up to 2013. You may recall that grandmasters are above 2500. Anand is about 2800 and Pragnanandha about 2500 plus. Nihal Sarin is a young prodigy who has promise according to Anand.
Carlsen is current world number 1. Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer are all time greats.
My rating has fallen down. I am trying exercises on general moves in opening and other moves. I am not good here. I have understood concepts of tactics, however. So the rating was high. But making better moves; it's not happening.
