It is by no means uniform or even commonplace anywhere.

It resembles a harmonious orchestration of sensory experiences.

Whenever there is a conversation brought up of street food mention of pani puri is never missed and it has reserved its place in the people’s hearts since eternity.

In the process of formulation, we make a hole in the puri's surface with your forefinger, stuff it with your preferred filling, such as mashed potatoes, sprouts, finely chopped onions, or mushy peas, and then quickly dip it into tamarind and spicy green chutney liquids. 

The fiery potato filling, the tangy tamarind water, the crisp mint chutney, and the crisp puri. Your taste receptors sing in unison after each bite as a crescendo of sensations.

Its specialty brings people together no matter how rich or poor he/she is and also The vendor’s customer base spans age groups and social strata.
