Puri

The Puri is an other variation of the Chapati, it is also produced from the same dough and then, however, not baked separate fried. The Puri is a traditional side dish for curry dishes, it is eaten above all to potato curry, lentils curry and chicken curry. In India the round flat dough-cake bread serves not only as a side dish, but replaces also the instruments. In India it is eaten mostly only with the hands, however, only with the right hand, because the left hand is valid as impure. A piece of uncompleted bread is suited very well as a spoon substitute and in the end the sauce can be still wiped by the plate.
