A special meal




     In the cities, most homes have indoor kitchens with a 2-burner gas stove, but the village way of cooking over a clay stove (mathi chulah) fed by wood or cow-dung is still favored by many women.  It comes in very handy for cooking for a crowd.    We recently attended our friend's daughter's birthday party and enjoyed a wonderful biryani meal cooked outside of their apartment in a little cooking shed. It looks like a perfect place to cook one of our favorite dishes -a Spanish paella- but sadly our modern 7-story apartment building has no cooking shed attached to it.
