This photo comes to us from Isabelle Prondzynski (prondis_in_kenya).
She says, “Cooking chapati on a jiko. Laborious work!
The charcoal fired jiko drops its ashes below; the little door at the bottom regulates the heat if necessary. The chapatis are cooked on a thick iron griddle which spreads the heat evenly and is used only for this purpose.”
I say, “It looks delicious!”
