I very very rarely buy packaged food.. but as I was doing some grocery shopping, I went down the "World Foods" isle and decided that I would try something I have never had before.. since I love lots about India and know almost nothing about their food, I thought I would try a packaged version, instead of blindly trying to make it! So I grabbed an Eggplant curry and these "crackers" called puppodums... never heard of them so I thought what the hell! First of all, puppodums are the most amazing things to watch in the world ... They come flat and very thing almost like phyllo dough, and you stick in in the microwave for about 40 seconds and it starts to ooze from the middle and the rest follows and crackles almost like popcorn! When it's done its very puffy and crunchy! Each one turns out different so it never got old watching them form! The curry was really spicy.. I am not sure all Indian food is like that.. but it was still pretty delicious because the spice didn't mask the flavors!
I just wanted to share this because it was something different and I found it very fun and exciting! I think that when my daughter grows to the appropriate age, maybe every once in a while we take a break from the kitchen and pick a country and try things like this out! If they have these products in your grocery store, I strongly suggest trying them out! P.s. I discovered that puppodums are quite delicious with hummus.. I guess thats the American in me.. take a little from every culture!
