Year 5: Langar

Year 5 have been learning about Langar in RE – a Sikh community kitchen. We decided to hold our own Langar, making chapatis from scratch, then chopping onions, for our very own daal! We added all the ingredients (onion, red lentils, garlic, spices, coconut milk and tomatoes) to a pan and let it bubble away whilst we rolled out our chapati dough. Miss Sandey cooked the chapatis in a pan, we then wrapped them in foill and even invited Mrs Tam to come to enjoy the food! Mrs Tam did her own ‘Seva’ (serving and helping others) by dishing our curry into the bowl for us!

Everyone in Y5 enjoyed making the daal and chapatis and the community spirit of cooking and eating together was wonderful!
