Panipuri (About this soundpānīpūrī (help·info)) or fuchka (About this soundfhuchka (help·info)) or gupchup or golgappa or Pani ke Patake is a type of snack that originated in the Indian subcontinent, and is one of the most common street foods in Indian subcontinent.[1][2][3][4][5]

Ingredients[]

Panipuri consists of a round or ball-shaped, hollow puri (a deep-fried crisp flatbread), filled with a mixture of flavored water (known as imli pani), tamarind chutney, chili powder, chaat masala, potato mash, onion or chickpeas.[6][7]

Fuchka (or fuska or puska) differs from Panipuri in content and taste. It uses spiced mashed potatoes as the filling. It is tangy rather than sweetish while the water is sour and spicy.[8]

It is popular by the name of Gol Gappa (/gəʊlˈgʌpə/) in some parts of Northern India (particularly Delhi and Punjab).[8]

History[]

Chaat is considered the predecessor of pani puri. According to the culinary anthropologist Kurush Dalal, chaat originated in Northern India (now Uttar Pradesh). Food historian Pushpesh Pant opines that pani puri originated in North India (around modern-day Uttar Pradesh). He also noted that it was possibly originated from Raj-Kachori. Someone made a smaller puri and made a pani puri from it.[11] Pani puri spread to the rest of India mainly due to migration of people from one part of the country to another in the 20th century.[4]
