About Golgappa

Golgappa, also known as pani puri, is a popular street food originating from the Indian subcontinent. It consists of crispy, hollow wheat or semolina shells filled with a combination of spicy tamarind water, boiled potatoes, chickpeas, and sometimes sweet chutney. Traditionally served bite-sized, it delivers a burst of tangy, spicy, and sweet flavors. Golgappa is rich in carbohydrates from the puris and potatoes, while chickpeas contribute protein and fiber, supporting digestive health. The tamarind water, often seasoned with mint and spices, provides antioxidants and aids in hydration. However, being deep-fried, the shells can be high in unhealthy fats if not made with quality oils. Additionally, street-side versions may lack hygiene standards. When prepared with fresh ingredients and baked shells, golgappa can offer a balanced treat that satisfies cravings while maintaining nutritional mindfulness.
