“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

an ungreased skillet. 9. Put phulka on it and let cook for about 1
minute. 10. Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minute till small
bubbles form. 11. Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly
with a towel. It should puff. Serve warm (maybe slightly buttered).

Note: As the rolled out chappatis will dry out if they are left stand
while cooking other, it is advantageous to roll them out
individually before cooking them.

At step 9, the top should just start to look dry and small bubbles to
form.
