A panipuri is a deep-fried crisp round hollow puri filled with a flavorful liquid and one or more additional ingredients, such as potato mash, onion, chickpeas, chili powder, or chaat masala.
Significant changes have been made to Panipuri over time. The food, which was once called “gol gappa,” was a little, hollow, fried wheat shell filled with spiced mashed potatoes and served with tamarind or mint-flavored water.
The availability of ingredients and regional tastes over time led to differences in the filling and flavored water.
