Question

What ways (technologies) would have been used to do the work shown in pictures 5 and 6? You can see that the dough is ready in picture 6. When do you think a sieve (chhalni) would have been used? Discuss each step in detail, in any language you wish to use.

Answer 1

In most households, making dough does not involve using technologies. Ladies simply use the age-old method of kneading the dough with bare hands. Flour is usually sieved before making the dough. After that, water needs to be added to the flour. People usually estimate the required amount of water for making dough. After kneading for some time, the dough gets ready.
