The Glory of Puri!

Every Indian understands the glory of this humble homemade bread! What's not to love about this? The wonderful golden puffed look, the paper thin dome or the delicious bites that taste ever so great with sabji on the side. The only setback you ask? Its deep fried! Not the healthiest of breads! So when I saw that Anita of A Mad Tea Party announced this party, I thought to myself "Sure I should participate, it would give me a chance to eat puris!" You see I've not eaten puris in the longest! I love them, but the health factor (read weight factor!) always is top priority! And i was even more excited when I saw all the wonderful puris appearing on favorite blogs around the blogosphere!
In our home, during my growing up years :-), puris were always made once every week. Each time it was served with a different side. The classic of those were Potato Sabji or also called Potato Palya in Kannada, Vegetable Kurma or Moong Saagu! The memories of childhood enforce themselves, and these are still my favorite combinations. My daughter loves to eat Puri with Potato Sabji! She calls it "Puri with Indian Mashed Potato" and eat it like a taco! She cradles the sabji in the puri like a taco and enjoys it! I'm sure these will be her memories for the future!

Here's my puris served with Potato Palya on the side!
