Heera Panipuri

Bikaji Panipuri

Panipuri, also known as golgappa and Fuchka, is a popular street food snack in India. It consists of small, round, crispy shells made of semolina or wheat flour, filled with a mixture of spiced mashed potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and tamarind chutney.

The panipuri shells are typically filled with the spiced mixture and then dipped into a bowl of flavored water before being eaten whole in one bite. The flavored water, or "pani," is made with a mixture of tamarind, mint, coriander, and other spices, and can be customized to suit individual tastes.

Panipuri is a popular snack throughout India and is often sold by street vendors in crowded marketplaces and on busy street corners. It is enjoyed by people of all ages and is often considered a staple of Indian street food.

While panipuri is generally considered safe to eat, it is important to be cautious when consuming street food to avoid the risk of foodborne illness. It is recommended to only eat from reputable vendors, and to ensure that the food is freshly prepared and served hot.

Chanachur is a traditional snack that is popular in Bangladesh and other parts of South Asia. It is made by mixing a variety of crunchy ingredients such as roasted chickpeas, peanuts, lentils, rice flakes, and masala spices. To make chanachur, the ingredients are first roasted to give them a crispy texture and then mixed together with a blend of spices. The spice blend typically includes cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt, among other ingredients. The finished snack has a savory and slightly spicy flavor that is often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Original chanachur is a common accompaniment to tea or other beverages, and it is also sometimes used as a topping for chaat or other street foods. Chanachur can be found in many grocery stores and street food stalls throughout South Asia, and there are many different variations and recipes for making it. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients such as sesame seeds, coconut, or raisins to add extra flavor and texture.
