Roasting the parshads ( chapatis ) in a spirit of love

The tradition of ?? guru ka langar ?? ( community kitchen / food served in a Gurudwara ) originates from the Sikh Gurus, who preached the essence of humanity. After the hymns and veneration of the Guru Granth Sahib, kada parshad distributed , followed by langar , where free food is served to devotees regardless of caste and creed as all sit and break bread together.

For Sikhs , there is no greater source of joy than to celebrate the birth of Guru Nanak and that of Guru Gobind Singh. At each Guru Purab , guru ka langar served.

Guru Nanak desired that every sikh should share his food with others and that their kitchens should be open to all.

Every sikh is expected to contribute either by donating food or by taking part in the cooking and or distribution of food , for it saveth life .

Heat oil , put the cumin seeds , ginger - garlic paste , onion and fry till brown and then add it to the dal. Adjust salt.

Continue to simmer on low heat till the gravy becomes thick. Pour hot ghee over it and serve with fresh chapatis.

Tips : Garam masala is sprinkled over it after the dal is cooked completely and then covered ( so the flavor gets absorbed ). The amount of dal and the ingredients can be adapted according to your requirements.
