Pani puri ()[a] is a deep-fried breaded hollow spherical shell, about 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter, filled with a combination of finely diced potato, onion, peas, and chickpea. It is a common street food in the Indian subcontinent. It is often spiced with tamarind chutney, chili powder, or chaat masala.[3][4][5] A Bengali variant, fuchka,[b] uses spiced mashed potatoes and dal or ghugni as the filling.[6]
