During his mission trips, Palmer the Parrot has learned and tried new foods and learned new recipes. As your children or students play these games, encourage further mission involvement by reading the host country's issue of Mission Friends to learn more praying for missionaries and national Christians in that country; and supporting mission efforts financially through Mission Sparkler projects or general mission support 

PALMER'S FAVORITE RECIPES 

CHAPATI-INDIAA chapati [cha-PAH-tee] is shaped like a pancake and made with whole wheat four. It is a type of bread that Indian people like to eat with stew, thick soup made with beans or lentils, or vegetables.

WHAT YOU DO: 1. Pour the flour into the bowl. Slowly add water, mixing it with your fingers. Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a cloth. Leave it alone for an hour.2. Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it some more. Sprinkle flour onto the rolling pin and onto a clean surface. Pull off a piece of dough about the size of a ping pong ball and roll it out. (Keep sprinkling the chapati with flour so that it doesn't stick to the rolling pin.) Roll them until they are very thin. Place the chapatis on a cookie sheet.3. Bake the chapatis in a 300-degree oven for about ten minutes or until they turn light brown. Keep them warm in a basket lined with a napkin.
