About Panipuri

Indian snack

Panipuri is a snack consisting of a deep-fried spherical puri shell, hollowed out for a filling and dipped in flavoured waters. It is commonly filled with a combination of potatoes, chickpeas, spices, and chutney. The flavoured waters are typically a spicy coriander leaf or mint chutney called teekha pani and a sweet tamarind chutney called meetha pani. About 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter, it is a finger food eaten in one bite. Classified as a chaat, panipuri is a common snack and street food in the Indian subcontinent. Several variations exist, using different ingredients in the filling, waters, and dough.
