Making Chapati

This morning we were lucky enought to have Hanna's Mum spend the morning with us making Chapati. Initially Bhuvika began making some herself and children watched her roll the dough into balls, roll it our flat and then cook it over the hot heat.

As the lovely aroma of the chapati filled the Kindergarten children began to show an interest and in their own time cut, rolled some dough into balls and used specially made rolling pins to flatten the dough for cooking. The children used the same techniques as they had watched Bhuika use as the prepared the dough for cooking.

Jed talked about the different shapes he had made as he rolled out the dough, trying very hard to form a circle.

"I made a square, but then I folded the corners in and made a circle" he said proudly.

Once the chapati had been made we gathered around the table to try them. As we all sat around the table trying the chapati Hanna took much pride in telling everyone "you need to roll it like this" as she rolled her chapati up.

It was a pleasure to have Bhuvika come in to share the making of chapati, something that we know she and Hanna enjoy making at home for their meals. Kia ora mo tēnā - Thanks for that.
