Puran Puri

I doubt I will ever get around to attempting these on my own. (As you can hear M's aunt say in the background, "A lot of skill is required. She is a specialist. Everybody cannot make...") However, I certainly look forward to eating them again sometime soon. Puran puri (pooran poori) are chapatis stuffed with a sweet paste made of chickpeas. After wrapping the chapati dough around the paste, the ball is rolled flat, and you wind up with three perfect layers. It was pretty amazing to watch. And to eat.

Oops! Guess where I've been?

I was frantically busy before leaving on my trip, and so I figured I would write an "on vacation" post when I arrived at my destination. But it turns out that it was way harder to find internet access in India than I expected!

Coming soon: pictures, picture, pictures! (Plenty of food pic's - best vacation food ever!)
