I have a very generous lady for a neighbour, who keeps plying us with goodies like laddus and polis and dahi wadas, every once in a while.
Our way to return the favour is by gobbling everything up real quick and by repeatedly telling her how fabulous the food was and of course return the bowls. I tried filling out the bowls with something I’ve made while returning, but it didn’t last long. The bowls had to wait for long in the shelves waiting for the day I filled them up with something edible. So I’ve stopped trying. I’ve just gone back to returning the bowls with a smile and a thank you aunty!
Today I have sinned. While pulling out a turai from the fridge, I broke the bowl (and with it the precious laddus in it).
Now I am on a mission to find a replacement of the bowl. Please wish me luck. And also tell me if you know of a shop in Bangalore that stocks La Opala bowls with small reddish flowers on it. An ice cream treat guaranteed!

nuts or dry fruits to fill the bowls don’t need much work. i’ve broken some of my neighbour’s bowls. instead of trying to replace the exact one (if it’s hard to find), i’ve given them something totally different.
good luck.
thanks for the tip! i couldn’t find the exact bowl, so i tried giving her a similar looking bowl and apologized to her about accidentally breaking it. she was very cool and politely turned down my replacement offer. phew!!! i was nervous but nothing happened. no one died. :)
