When we think of eating Indian street food, Pani Puri is the first thing that comes to our mind and within no time does it make our mouths salivate! Pani Puri is the signature Indian chowpaty dish and the most loved delicacy in almost every part of the country. It is known by various names like Puchka, Pani Patashe, Gol Gappe, Phulki, Patashi, etc. in different parts of the country.
Go to any place and there’s one thing you are surely gonna find; these palatable deep fried little bowls made of wheat or semolina (suji), filled with all kinds of crunchy mouth-watering fillings and tangy sauces that leave a lasting flavor on your taste-buds. Pani Puri is more like an addiction for Indians and every street food sojourn in incomplete without gulping down at least one pani puri. Well, one is obviously never enough!
