Pani puri is hands down one of the most loved street foods in India. It has got that perfect combo of flavours: spicy, tangy, fresh and addictive. You get those crispy little puris (those hollow fried balls of joy) filled with mashed potatoes, chickpeas, onions and a dash of masala. And then comes the best part — dunking them into chilled, spicy-tangy mint and tamarind water (aka pani) and popping the whole thing into your mouth in one go. But have you seen a white person try pani puri for the very first time? A recent video that is going viral on Instagram shows exactly that – and it is too good to miss.
