Why i love Pani Puri

                                   PANI PURI

Who doesn't love chaat items? almost every Indian loves Pani Puri. Pani puri is deep-fried breaded sphere filled with potato, onion, or chickpea. It is a common street food in the Indian subcontinent. It is often spiced with tamarind chutney, chili powder, or chaat masala. A Bengali variant uses spiced mashed potatoes as the filling.  It is also called Gol Gappa.  Earlier to make pani puri it required a lot of work. But now, you can get them in a readymade in a shop. Store bought pani puris take maximum 10 mins. Just fry the pellets, mix the paste, mix the masala in boiled potatoes and you're done. 

HOW MY TASTE FOR PANI PURI STARTED

I developed a taste for pani puri in 3rd grade. I was in my friends house and his parents bought pani puri. They forced me to have some so i had no other option. When i put one in my mouth I savoured the taste so much!!!!!! I only liked the sweet pani though and I took out all the potatoes. From that point on I started eating them. 

HISTORY OF PANI PURI

Gol Gappa originated In Indian subcontinent. He also noted that it possibly originated from Raj-Kachori: an accidentally-made smaller puri giving birth to pani puri. Pani puri spread to the rest of India mainly due to migration of people from one part of the country to another in the 20th century.
