Surajit nice how did they ever make luchi from these pata? please have your mom or wife tell me.
Luchi is known to the western world as PURI .. people who go to indian restaurants either are served real puris (is 3-4 inch in diameter) puris or you must have seen those gimmicky 12 inch puffed puris.... nowadays malls in India are also serving them... last year I saw these being served in the food court in a couple of malls in Kolkata Usha di On Sun, Aug 19, 2012 at 8:33 PM, surajit koley < [email protected]> wrote: > Sir, > > My mother played with this herb, my wife too, but my daughter didn't, for > now-a-days they have barbie-sindy-leo-funskool.... god knows how many!
