UP wala- Kaddu ki sabji and boondi raita

Some people agreed with the doctor and shared their two cents as well.
Only after coming to Bengaluru, did I start appreciating chutney as a legit side dish for Poori. It should not be a surprise, considering that Karnataka eateries make the best coconut chutney. Nobody comes close to it.

A very good combination. Cannot go wrong with it. However, these 👇🏻are brilliant too.
Poori- kheer
Poori- halwa (rawa ya aare ya besan ka)
Poori – aamras
Poori- aloo, tamatar kee reshedar sabzi
Poori- chhole— विद्योत्तमा Vidyottama (@VidyottamaPS) March 31, 2024
Best combo doc.
— SNAFU (@Srivida) March 31, 2024
This is good. If you ever visit belagavi , try kurma poori at ajanta hotel.
— Pradeep S.I (@PradipSI) March 31, 2024
And of course, lots of people asked if having puri was a healthy option, to begin with, or not!
Doc!! You trying to get more patients ? One can’t stop at just 3 -4 puris…especially when on a journey.
— Mehul Rahul (@MehulR9) March 31, 2024
Yummy. But is it good for health..oily stuff..idli is the best
— Ravi Shankar (@RaviShank06) March 31, 2024
Have you been carb shamed for this yet
— Dr Nandita Iyer (@saffrontrail) April 1, 2024

Any combination becomes better with Poori!!
