In a semi-enclosed, makeshift food preparation area in Kandahar, Afghanistan, four adult males are engaged in cooking. The structure features a woven reed roof and walls constructed from various tarpaulins: red on the left, grey centrally, and green on the right, supported by metal poles. A single incandescent light bulb hangs overhead. In the foreground-left, a man wearing a light-colored long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and a light grey head covering with a patterned band, is seated on the ground. He holds a metal cup in his left hand, likely containing batter, and a long metal rod in his right hand. He is actively frying ring-shaped dough items, approximately 12 in number, in a large, round, black metal pan filled with hot oil, which is set into a cylindrical, crude clay/mud stove. A bright yellow plastic jerry can is positioned to his left. To the immediate right of the frying pan, a large silver metal pot contains additional cooked items or syrup. A grey plastic basin, holding light-colored batter, is situated between the two foreground individuals. In the mid-ground-right, a second man, with a beard, wearing a brown tunic with embroidered details, brown trousers, and a dark cap, is also seated on the ground, holding a metal cup in his left hand. Further in the background-left, two additional men are partially visible, also seated on the ground. One is tending to items within a red plastic basin. Various white sacks, likely containing ingredients, are stacked in the background to the right. Clothes and a white plastic bag hang from overhead supports. in Kandahar, Afghanistan
