It turns out that the delicious bread served at Megan's was not puri (poori) but Bhatura. You can find a recipe here.
The recipe says "best served piping hot." No kidding! These came out of the kitchen filled with steam, and Megan or her Mother-in-Law would press gently on the puffy center to release a bit. Iain was entranced, while Charles and I just watched greedily. As The Pasha would say, "Mine! Mine!"
The recipe I linked to also has a link to chole, the chickpea and onion curry with which these are eaten. It was excellent - filling and spicy and rich in the same way chili can be rich - so I recommend you take a look.
