The child in me loves the very sight of puffy poori.👧💃.Sometimes I also giggle like a child.Somehow it makes my better 1/2 also damn happy lol...Made for each other (Touchwood!)😀💑
When I was little puri was not something that was frequently made at home ,it used to be a weekend affair mostly and we (bhaiya and me) used to look forward to that sizzling sound of deep frying and the aroma of today-is-puri-day-yay - that aroma was a sweet distraction not only from face book I mean facing those school books but also from my irritating bhaiya/bro..(He is very loving though)👫
I also remember my neighbor next door aunty used to make puri and her special Bihari aloo dish and share with us ... or our Bengali aunty in the upper floor would give us luchi with dum aloo ..those aromas of puri and different sabzis made by amma or my beloved aunties still haunts my nose and memory every now and then....
In fact,poori reminds me my golden childhood days in North India :))..
