I went to a wedding in RAJASTHAN in the WEST

and I watched a huge wedding feast being prepared.

These women were MAKING CHAPATIS. They sat in a circle,

each person helping with one stage of the chapati making. So the

first lady sieved the flour through a metal sheet with lots of holes in it.

Another, adding water, kneaded it into dough with her fist. The next

separated the dough into little balls, ready for the final rolling out into

a chapati shape.

A large plate of ready rolled chapatis was then whisked off into the kitchen to be cooked for the

wedding feast.
