What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the massive, balloon-like size of the puris in Sharjah, noting they were larger than those he had in Pakistan. He highlighted the gelatinous, 'sticky' texture of the paya as a nostalgic flavor that transported him back to his travels in Pakistan. The experience of eating authentic chickpea curry on the hood of a car served as a standout moment of the tour.
