Golgappa (also known as pani puri) is a popular bite-size street-style chaat consisting of a hollow, crispy-fried puffed ball that is filled with cubed potato, chickpeas, onions, spices, flavored water, usually a combination of tamarind and mint, and sev. This is the most popular Indian street food and is loved by everyone, whether kids or adults. You will find many thela or street vendors in every area of the city in India. Today I am sharing an Indo-Mexican fusion snack with Avocado Salsa stuffed inside a crispy puri. Instead of traditionally flavored mint/pudina pain, I am sharing fruit pani made with orange juice and spices. This avocado pani puri is very simple to assemble, and one can easily find puffed puri at any Indian grocery store or prepare it at home. Other Chat recipes are bhel puri chaat, corn bhel, dahi papdi chaat etc.
Difference between Golgappa, Pani puri, and Puchhka?
They are all made with round semolina puris, but the difference is with what goes inside (stuffing) the puri. It’s commonly called pani puri in Mumbai, golgappa in the north, and puchhka in the northeast.
