Occasionally I have lunch in The Central Gudwara (Sikh Temple) near me. It is like stepping into India for an hour. With shoes off and Pashmina on, I just turn up, bow to the Guru Grath Sahib, make a donation, and then take a Thali tray and eat delicious curry and rice on the floor. The lovely curry making ladies of Punjab are always asking me to come in on a Sunday night and help prepare the Chapati... so last night I finally did. I had a go at every Chapati making station although I was mainly left to slather butter on them once cooked. I told them that I was being quite stingy with the butter as I didn't want anyone to get fat. Mahtab (meaning moonlight) said that was OK and that everyone is bery bery healthy conscious these days.
