Lunch

The other day Roshid, the cook at the office, was in a particularly good mood and I took the opportunity to take pictures of how our meals are made.

This is the kitchen at the office. Roshid is on the right and an assistant is on the left. The curved iron things are what they use to chop all of the vegetables. I know that the edge facing up is sharp, but beyond that I do not understand how they manage to use it to chop everything into even little pieces.

Yes, they prepare all of the food on the floor and, yes, they are barefoot! (I am pretty sure they are instructed to cook barefoot so that they don't get street crud on the floor where they are going to put the food). Here is Roshid displaying the fish he is going to cook (he was really enthusiastic about the photo shoot).

And here is the final product:

There was rice, daal (lentils), homemade mango chutney, laal shak (a red "leafy green vegetable"),

mishti comra (pumpkin),

mach (fish),

and shorsha (cucumber).

It was delicious!
