The making of the Bahubali Pani Puri in Nagpur is quite interesting. The dish begins with a large-sized Puri which is then stuffed with a variety of chutneys and Pani. There is an Imli chutney, followed by regular Pani, a seasonal orange-flavoured Pani (replaced by Mango in summers), Jeera (cumin) Pani, and garlic Pani. Then, the potato stuffing which is typically filled inside the Pani Puri was placed on top shaped like a huge cylindrical tower. This giant Bahubali Pani Puri was then topped with curd, boondi, sev, and shelled pomegranate.
The interesting Bahubali Pani Puri seemed quite delicious yet challenging to eat. "You should also make a video on how to eat it," commented one user. Another wrote, "Can't believe there is a pani puri in this world that can't be eaten in one bite!"
