Aahhh..Panipuri..mouth-watering isn’t it? it’s also known as golgappa, and puchka too. This food is one of the most popular of all Indian street foods. Its popularity is such that restaurants too began including it on their menu. However, majority like to eat it on roadside only because many feel that there lies its original taste and that puris are crispy too.
Indian girls simply relish panipuri. May be because it’s a bit tangy, a bit salty, and crunchy with the blend of sweetness. It is the perfect balance of all sensations that you can put into the food and it is also very cheap compared to other street foods. During evenings and weekends we can see most of the street panipuri carts crowded mostly by girls than boys. However, this doesn’t mean that boys are not fond of panipuri but in comparison girls are seen more near the panipuri carts. Therefore, without a doubt we can say that say that Panipuri guy has more girl as fans than any other common man in streets.
Adding to this, there is a funny mythology associated with the epic Mahabharata. When Arjun’s mother Kunti wanted to test the intelligence of Draupadi, she gave her a small amount of dough using which only one roti could have been made. But she was asked to make something out of it and serve it to all the five Pandavas and satiate their hunger. The story also mentions that she also gave Draupadi some leftover potato sabzi. Draupadi instantly invented this dish called panipuri and Kunti was impressed by her intelligence.
