Gold and silver pani puri from Bengaluru goes viral, people call it ‘absolutely unnecessary’ | Trending

Pani puri is one of those street foods that is not only loved in India but also around the world. The combination of spicy plus sweet water along with boiled potatoes or chickpea is an absolute delight and makes for a delicious snack. While this is a crowd-pleaser any day, would you ever try a “gold and silver” pani puri? Sounds a bit offbeat, right? Recently, a food vendor from Bengaluru was seen serving this creation, and it went viral on social media.

The video of this unusual pani puri was shared on Instagram by Khushbu Parmar. It shows fried puris kept on top of a gold-coloured tray and glasses. He then fills the puris with dry fruits and honey. For the water, he adds in thandai and then finally puts sheets of edible gold and silver on the puris. (Also Read: Kadhi meets pani puri in this latest food experiment. Watch)
