State of Punjab - Section

Section 834 in Punjab Jail Manual, 1996

834. All articles, to be weighed out to the cooks. Details of the preparation of food.

- All articles of diet shall, when possible be weighed out to the cooks in a state ready prepared for cooking. The following instructions shall be attended to : -
(1)Wheat before being ground into flour should be thoroughly freed from dirt, unsound grain and any other deleterious substances. The flour shall be sifted through a fine perforated zinc sifter (No. 6 gauge) or equally fine wire gauze. One part wheat flour gives 1.45 parts of bread, provided no more fuel is required for the purpose.Note. - The estimate of the total bread to be obtained from 50 kgs. of flour should be 69 kgs. of bread.
(2)To ensure this result being obtained, the Statement (Form No. 95) showing the weights of uncooked and cooked rations, should at unexpected intervals be checked by the Superintendent.
(3)Antiscorbutics must be used in the fuel weight of the edible parts, proper allowance being made for husk, seeds and fibre. This can be done by finding out by experiment that proportion the edible part bears to the whole.
(4)Succulent fresh vegetables when available should be used in the dietary in preference to dried vegetables. They should be freed from stalks, decayed and llbrous portions and cut up ready for the pot before being weighted out. Arrangements must be made for an ample and continuous supply of vegetables during the hot and rainy months, more especially those kinds which are of antiscorbutic value such as onions. Roman cabbages, potatoes when obtainable and country radishes. Brinjals, melons, pumpkins and sags have very little nutritive or anit-scorbutic properties.
(5)The ghee should be well heated before being mixed with the vegetables, and heated and flavoured with fried onions, before being mixed with the dal.
(6)The condiments and salt should be added in the presence of the Deputy Superintendent or Medical Subordinate or other superior officials, to the dal and vegetables while they are being, or immediately after they have been cooked. A large quantity of condiment mixture should be prepared at one time, so as to preserve the due proportion of the ingredients and avoid the necessity of weighing them in small quantities.
(7)The maximum loss allowed for cleaning and winnowing the various grains and pulses is :-
  Loss per quintal
  Kgs. Gms.
Wheat 03 750
Dal urd 04 440
Dais, mung, moth, rawan and masar. 03 750
Gram for bullocks or parching or boiling 01 250
Dal gram 12 500
Tamarind 50 000
Wheat for Dalia 01 250
When the actual loss in cleaning is less it, and not the maximum loss allowed, should be calculated in the accounts.Note. - One Qtl of gram should yield 67.500 Kgs. dal. Of the remaining 11.200 Kgs of husk and coarse flour should be issued to bullocks in lieu of 7.450 Kgs. One Kg loss is allowed in cleaning gram.
(8)Bran over and above the requirements of the jail cattle should be sold at short intervals and not allowed to accumulate.
