Another blast from the past, India in March
This was the kitchen in which they prepared all the food for the school children three times a day, vegetable curry for every meal with many, many Chapatis on the side!
As you can see, the conditions are not brilliant!

Aos poucos fui compartilhando com a Maria Luiza algumas vivências dentro da alimentação viva, e uma delas - há pouquissimo tempo - foi a utilização exagerada de trigo germinado. Conclusão: foi uma overdose de trigo germinado em forma de pão, almondegas, quibe, e etc. dentro de um curto periodo, o que me fez ficar pelo menos 5 dias sem querer ver grãos germinados a minha frente.
Com sua sabedoria e simplicidade, Maria Luiza me mostrou uma forma mais suave de utilização do trigo germinado, criando um chapati após processar o trigo - tornando assim sua 'massa' leve e agradável ao paladar.
Agradeço!

GURU KA LANGAR
Guru Ka Langar The tradition of serving langar Initiated by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and then established by the 3rd Guru Sri Guru Amar Dass Ji at Goindwal.
Even the Mughal King Akbar came and sat among the ordinary people to share langar.
The institution of Guru ka Langar has served the community in many ways. It has ensured the participation of women and children in a task of service for mankind. Women play an important role in the preparation of meals, and the children help in serving food to the pangat. Langar also teaches the etiquette of sitting and eating in a community situation, which has played a great part in upholding the virtue of sameness of all human beings; providing a welcome, secure and protected sanctuary.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone is welcome to share the Langar; no one is turned away. Each week a family or several families volunteer to provide and prepare the Langar. This is very generous, as there may be several hundred people to feed, and caterers are not allowed. All the preparation, the cooking and the washing-up is done by volunteers and or by voluntary helpers (Sewadars).
In the Golden Temple Community Kitchen at an average 75,000 devotees or tourists take langar in the Community Kitchen daily; but the number becomes almost double on special occasions. On average 5.000 kg Wheat Flour, 1.250 kg Cereals, 500 kg Rice, 5000 Ltr Milk, 500 kg Sugar, 250 kg Pure Ghee is used a day. Nearly 100 LPG Gas Cylinders are used to prepare the meals. 100’s of employees and devotees render their services to the kitchen.

IMPORTANCE OF LANGAR TO SIKHISM
Bhai Desa Singh in his Rehitnama says, "A Sikh who is 'well to do' must look to the needs of his poor neighbours. Whenever he meets a traveller or a pilgrim from a foreign country, he must serve him devotedly.
Maharaja Ranjit Singh made grants of jagirs to gurdwaras for the maintenance of langars. Similar endowments were created by other Sikh rulers as well. Today, practically every gurdwara has a langar supported by the community in general. In smaller gurdwaras cooked food received from different households may comprise the langar. In any case, no pilgrim or visitor will miss food at meal time in a gurdwara. Sharing a common meal sitting in a pangat is for a Sikh is an act of piety. So is his participation in cooking or serving food in the langar and in cleaning the used dishes. The Sikh ideal of charity is essentially social in conception. A Sikh is under a religious obligation to contribute one-tenth of his earnings (daswand) for the welfare of the community. He must also contribute the service of his hands whenever he can, service rendered in a langar being the most meritorious.
GOLDEN TEMPLE AMRITSAR
Sweet chapati and iced karak. Karak is a type of chai: strong black tea brewed with evaporated milk, and flavoured with cardamom and saffron.
I’m assured by at least one food blogger that this riff on chai, although popular across the Middle East, is a Qatari creation and ritual. And I can agree that it’s much subtler than masala chai, which I’ve drunk on site in India and as the name suggests is spiked by a punchy mix of spices.
Although the sweetened flatbread and aromatic drink are obviously Indian in origin, there is no mistaking the national identity of this space. Over the door are the words ‘Doha – London’, I managed to get the Qatari flag into the pic (always deeply satisfying to get the country’s flag in in this project) and not least the cafe is smack-bang opposite the Qatari-owned and patronised Harrods. Indeed the cafe is a London outpost of a Doha gaff.
Not a whole load more to say here, all fine. Although the iced karak lacked a certain something and tasted strangely minty. The interior was faintly curious, themed with Arabic arches forming cosy booths.

Joti ground some green lentils with her giant mill stone and made me some super delicious chapatis from it in no time.

And the mom in the background thinks it's pretty funny. We did a two night homestay outside of Jodhpur.
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’.

The chapati business was initiated by a young refugee, entrepreneur called KING in Dzaleka refugee camp. He expanded his business to other major towns in Malawi. Since this type of bread is only found in Dzaleka refugee camp, people travel long distances to buy it.
UNCTAD, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) opened a photo exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18 November 2019 to show how migrant and refugee entrepreneurs contribute to the economic and social development of their host and origin countries.
The exhibit was organized as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 and the photos were displayed in the Palais des Nations.
