Traditional Food of India

BHOG
 Taittirya Upanishad
That which is in man is also in the sun. He who knows
thus upon leaving this world first attains the self made of
prana (breath), next the self made of mind, next the self
made of buddhi(intellegence) and lastly the self made of
bliss. All beings that exist on earth are born of food.
Thereafter they live by food. Again ultimately they go back
to it and merge to become food. So verily, food is the eldest
of all creatures . On that basis food is called the medicine
of all. Those who meditate upon Brahman as food will
obtain all food. From food are born all beings and after
being born they grow by food
