    Dinesh and DIgember working on Durga's house. by: bonnie Views[353] Daytime light is imperative in a Kumaoni house for cooking. UV stable thick plastic was used on the small windows.

    A view of a stove top.... by: bonnie Views[293] The roti (unleavened bread - the nightly staple) is cooked on the stove top on a 'toy' (metal pan) then finished of on a bed of coals. This is why a two door chulha system was applicable to the local environment/cooking. by: bonnie Views[362] Two new flues..... by: bonnie Views[329] A proud Hansi.... by: bonnie Views[321] Hansi in roti production. When cooking is finished the roti door is closed and at the end of the night the front door is closed. Radiating thermal mass keeps the room warm through the night. And for the first time windows and doors can be closed! by: bonnie Views[480]
