12 July - Google is celebrating India’s much cherished street food “Pani Puri” with a doodle

 

Google is celebrating India’s much cherished street food “Pani Puri” with a doodle. It could be surprising for many to see Google Doodle coming up with an inactive game to celebrate one of India’s most popular street foods on July 12.

The reason is even more interesting.On this day in 2015, a restaurant in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, created history by finding a mention on the Golden Book of World Records for serving 51 varieties of Pani Puri.

 


Pani Puri, also known as Golgappa, Puchka, or Pani Batasha, is a popular street food snack in India, particularly in the northern and western regions. It consists of small, hollow, crispy puris (deep-fried dough balls) that are filled with a mixture of spicy, tangy water (pani), mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and various chutneys.

The preparation and serving of Pani Puri involve several steps. First, the puris are carefully cracked open on top to create a small hole. Then, a spoonful of mashed potato and chickpea mixture, known as the filling, is added to each puri. This is followed by a drizzle of sweet tamarind chutney, tangy green chutney, and spicy mint-coriander water (pani). Finally, the filled puris are eaten in one bite, delivering a burst of flavors and textures.

Pani Puri is loved for its combination of sweet, sour, spicy, and tangy flavors. It is a popular street food snack that is enjoyed by people of all ages. The dish is known for its refreshing and appetizing taste, making it a go-to option for hot summer days or as a delightful snack any time of the year.
