In this reading, the joke is not on the Poori but on modernity. The Poori's confusion is a valid response to a world that has become absurdly complex. When a Poori tries to "save" his shadow by pouring water on it, we laugh at his misunderstanding of light physics.

Yes, you read that right. One of the most viral, absurdist jokes to emerge from Kerala involves a man who starts a "Patti Pooja" (dog worship) simply because his neighbour started "Pacha Pooja" (worship of greenery) and “Matti Pooja” (worship of mud).

  4. Do Not Rest the dough (use immediately).
  5. Fry on High Heat (ensure oil is smoking hot, but lower heat slightly when frying to ensure it cooks through without burning).
