For this you need a Stove made from mud it can be available in the market or you can your own. This stove is made by my aunt & me. We mix it with the mud with the husk of grains and make it.
 
You also need some wood, matchstick or kerosene oil (optional ). Place the wood in order, pour some kerosene oil & light it up. This setup needs to be ready 1hr before cooking so that some coal formed before hand which is good for cooking.
