At the Golden Temple, Amritsar, volunteers cooking for visitors to the temple, difficult lighting conditions, so shallow DOF, figures are a bit soft.
We were welcomed into this woman's home to sample chapati made from scratch. We sat barefoot in the "kitchen" watching the chapati being made then eating with our hands. The curd was like sour cream! Sights seen on our 75km drive to Chaumukha Mandir
The family gathers for breakfast. The menu is chapatis and tea - the kids love the chapati.
Like most other kids in Uganda, Sheeba is sent of to school before 7 o'clock. Semwanga opens shop around the same time.

Two of Manick's daughters roll the dough (right) and cook it over coals to make chapati bread. Behind them, Manick's wife is stirring boiling buffalo milk for us. Sudder Street, Kolkata, India.

I had the Masala Fries and a Chapati Veggie Wrap. The dip was Chipotle, my favourite. No way I could eat it all. I shared some of the fries with Stu. I ate half then had the rest the next day for lunch.
These chapati are really easy to make. The dough is simple and not in least bit difficult to work with. Mix together 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of white flour, 1 tsp (or less) of salt, 2 tbsp of olive oil and about 3/4 cup of hot water. Make a soft dough. Add more hot water if needed. Knead for a few minutes and then let the dough rest for a few minutes. Divide the dough into 10 portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out on a floured board and then place on a hot, oiled skillet. Let them brown a bit before flipping. Keep them in a warm, damp towel until they are all done. These would also work well for a whole wheat tortilla or wrap. Just roll them out thinly and perhaps make 8 balls of dough instead of 10 if you want a larger tortilla.
These chapati were served with a spicy potato filling and chana masala.

Our first two weeks in India we took a tour with a group that were mostly young people with backpacks because we didn't want the air conditioned bus type tour. We wanted to learn to be able to find our way around and learn to deal with the local trains, buses, taxis and rickshaws. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves in for but in the end it was one of the most wonderful things we've done in our lives.
This was the beginning of our tour which originated in Delhi. Our leader, Raj (see note) took us on this amazing trip. He managed to function under the most stressful circumstances and put up with all of our inexperience and our inability to deal with some of the circumstances we found ourselves in. He's an amazing guy with the patience of a saint.
We got to the temple by taking the public bus, an experience in itself. Here is the area in the temple where food is prepared for anyone who wants to come and eat. It is free to everyone.

So I took a spoon to the dough, and it ended up growing a face. But is it art? I'll let the audience decide.

Every day this sacred cow would come and wait at the door for a chapati handout (Jaisalmer, India).
All over Rajasthan I saw cows like this waiting at doorways. They reminded me of monks with their begging bowls, and this comparison was proven apt when an owner appeared at the door with a freshly made batch of chapatis for the cow. Goats also wait at doors, although not as patiently as the cows, as I saw a few slip into the houses. According to the man with the chapatis the goats ravage the potted plants, and if the monkeys get in, they are even worse, as they have figured out how to open refrigerator doors!

I CAN"T BELIEVE I DID THIS BY HAND and it actually PUFFED!! VICTORY!!
I think the reason that I find this so surprising is that Chapati dough is nothing more than whole wheat flour and water, "risen" for 3 hours. And yet, it puffs into this perfect pita-type thing. It was outrageously cool.
Of course, it deflated before dinner started, but that's fine. Everyone saw the glorious moment(s). :) Anyone know how to get them to stay puffed?

Knackige Fladenbrote aus Vollkornmehl in Anlehnung an ein Rezept aus Tibet.
Es gibt sie als Fastenbrot ganz ohne Salz, pur mit unter 1% Meersalz, als Feuer-Chapati mit Chili und Körnermischung und als Goldchapati mit Blattgold.
Ich mag sie gerne zum Knabbern und als Bergproviant, weil sie satt machen, nicht belasten und nicht viel wiegen.
Das raffiniert verschnürte Packl enthält alles, was ein Mönch besitzen darf: das dreiteilige Gewand, ein Handtuch, die Schüssel für Spenden und ein Rasiermesser (dieses Paket stammt nicht aus Tibet, sondern aus Sri Lanka).
Ab und zu hab ich Mönche mit "Zusatzausstattung" wie einen Schirm gegen Sonne oder Regen gesehen und ab und zu, lustig, mit Handys :) Na ja, auch die Religion geht manchmal mit der Zeit.
Mönche bedanken sich übrigens niemals für die Gaben der Gläubigen, im Gegenteil, diese haben zu danken, weil sie durch die Spende ihr Karma verbessern.
Washing down our chapati with some karak tea in Knightsbridge by way of Qatar - for once there was no two hour queue

Oberoi's Barbeque: best all-around restaurant in Gangtok. And to top off the great food, our waiter wore a Tupac shirt.
Scattered around the Western Thar Desert of India and Pakistan are villages of people calling themselves Bishnois. The Bishnoi are known for their staunch environmentalism. They are also known for their opium ceremony.
Away from where the men gather around their opium and chat, women continue their early-morning activities. In one of the houses, a woman is making capātī – from the Hindi capānā, meaning ‘flatten, roll out’.
