Dear Anita, You have no idea how your little provocationhas unsettled my taste buds for the past week. I have been craving each day for those hot, oily floating balloons from the day you posted themat the Mad Tea party! Clicking on any random blog on the Food Blog Desam made matters worse. I found myself drooling and ogling at all those sinful puris. I decided to end my suffering, got up early (inspite of this being a weekend). I did not want anything to come between me and my puris (read my little one). I got up with this…
