An iron skillet with a tasty vegetable curry dish sits on top of the stove in this kitchen in Dehradun, India.

With curry and coriander seasonings, this promises to be a healthy offering of vegetables, including okra, potatoes and peas. The kitchen is operated by Astitva, a local non-profit organization that helps abused women start small business and find jobs so that they can become economically self-sufficient. Two women operate the kitchen as a profit-making business. They prepare meals for staff, students in a day-care center and deliver tiffins to local business people at lunch -- as well as grind spices for a thrift shop.
