For some reason Poori-Aalu in a lunchbox tastes far better than the same served in a plate. After a few hours in the tiffin box, in times of darkness, like humans, the pooris unite & stick to each other. And then when you open the box, you have to peel off one poori from the other. Then you look for that spice laden Aalu to pick up. It isn’t hot anymore, yet Hunger is the secret ingredient that makes it tastier.
Often the Aalu gets over while there’r still couple of pooris left, blame it on the super jeera aalu or the capacity of the tiffin. You get a bit sad, then suddenly you lift the last poori up, and Voila! you find it. A slobbery slice of mango pickle. You thought it isn’t there, but then it shows up, beneath the bottom poori smearing its base. 🥲
