What a TERRIBLE  thread to read at 1.45pm. I have  just converted the
phulkas I was about to make for our lunch into parathas...and you lot are
responsible for the increased girth and cholesterol. (I use only homemade
ghee for parathas, you see, so I hardly ever make them for a spouse who
suffered a MI at the age of 38....)

Deepa.
