Pani puri, also known as golgappa or puchka, is a popular street food in India. It is a type of snack that consists of a round, hollow puri (a crisp, deep-fried dough ball) filled with a mixture of flavored water, tamarind chutney, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion, and chickpeas. It is typically served as a small bite-sized snack and is known for its burst of flavors and textures.
To enjoy pani puri, you typically follow these steps:
1. The vendor will take a puri and gently crack the top of it to create a small hole.
2. The puri is then filled with a mixture of mashed potato, boiled chickpeas, and chopped onions.
3. The vendor will then pour the flavored water, known as "pani," into the puri through the hole. The pani is usually a tangy and spicy concoction made with mint, coriander, green chilies, tamarind, and other spices.
4. Once the puri is filled with the pani, it is handed to you, and you usually eat it in one bite, trying to savor the explosion of flavors in your mouth.
5. You can have multiple pani puris in one go, ordering as many as you like.
Pani puri is a popular street food in various regions of India, and it may have slight variations in ingredients and flavors depending on the region. It is loved for its refreshing taste, especially on hot days, and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
