We have a cook. She comes every day, mon thru fri, and fixes us a dinner. Having a cook is actually not something special in India. It's such a service oriented country. Lots and lots of people have a cook, not just rich people. We are definitely not rich but the dollar goes a long long way here. For the four weeks she is cooking for us the fee is 3000 Rupees which is about $67. We do have to purchase the food. A weeks worth of groceries is about 140 Rupees, or $3.
She cooks a vegetable, rice, a dal and some chapatis. She is even making me a gluten free bread called Bakri (see below) which is made from Bajari flour (millet). This is so super because I hardly ever get to eat bread at home. It's easy to eat in India when you are gluten free. Seems like everything in the States has some type of wheat in it.
