Look at the picture. Colour the spaces which have dots in them. What do you see? In the picture, you must have found some utensils that are used for cooking. Are there any other utensils used in your house for cooking? Which are they? Have you seen a chapati being made in the kitchen or any where else? There are so many things to be done for this – taking out flour in a utensil, kneading it into a dough, making small balls of the dough, rolling out the balls and then cooking it on fire. After all this, the chapati reaches your plate after so much of effort.
