Amal has been looking forward to Gurupurab for months. He will get to be in the gurudwara kitchen with his beloved Bebe, when the langar is cooked. This year, there is something extra exciting planned. Maan Singh, a renowned cook who has worked in the kitchen of the Golden Temple, is coming to town. He will prepare the langar dal! Maan Singh arrives two days before Gurupurab and announces he needs to get to work. The dal has to cook and boil for many hours to come out just right. But when he realizes that he has forgotten to bring a key ingredient, what will happen? Will Amal and his friends, Simran and Angad, be able to bring the community together, so the perfect langar dal can be cooked? Read this joyous story of generosity and community that weaves in ideas from Sikhism. The Perfect Langar Dal gently shows that the Sikh ideals of service and sharing bring the greatest happiness—and true celebration comes through love and togetherness.
