India is full of lots of delicious foods. Many of them, I’ve never heard of before, but they’re really good. Street food is common in India and there are endless options. I was told by some of my Indian friends that I should try street food. So far, I’ve only tried a few, but I wanted to tell you about the strangest and most delicious one I’ve had so far: pani puri!
Pani puri is one of the most popular street foods in India. There are carts selling it in the market near me called Sahakar Nagar, and sometimes there is even a stand on the street near my school. Pani puri is a very odd looking food. It’s made of a thin crispy shell that is filled with a bit of potato, onion and flavored water. It did not look very appetizing at first, but soon I learned that it tastes much better than it looks.
When I first saw the pani puri I was uncertain about eating it. It looked kind of gross because the water it was filled with was grey and murky. I was a little afraid it might make me sick. My Indian friend assured me it was one of the best street foods, so I decided to try it.
I watched my friend eat it first, and then I ate the whole pani puri in one bite. I was surprised by how much I liked it!
