Notes/Tips

Gol gappe, phuchke, pani ka pataasha, gup chup, tikki, phulki, pakodi – all of these are names for one of India’s most favourite snacks, the pani puri. A small, unassuming, crispy hollow ball of fried dough, filled with potato and dunked in spicy jal jeera and meetha chutney. The world of Indian street food is vast, diverse, and delicious, but pani puri is the king. Whether you’re ordering it from a dubious vendor on a street corner or making a beeline towards the chaat stand at a wedding buffet
