Sapna Pandya lives in Washington, D.C. with her wife and daughter. Her family has lived in the DC-Maryland area since the 1950s when her Great Aunt moved there from Gujarat in western India. Sapna has memories of coming home from school to see the kitchen table, counter and floor space all absolutely covered with rolled out, cumin-accented, flattened pieces of turmeric-colored dough. These little circles of dough had been laid out to dry, lovingly (and painstakingly) pierced all over with her grandmother's nails to prevent them from puffing up when they were fried. Sapna hopes Milk Street will be able to recreate this family favorite snack, crunchy poori, and bring back those fond memories of her grandmother.
