Pani puri itself is enough to make my day better. And if I add spicy fruit mix with it, then it was definitely a fun and interesting day! Or probably it's just me who feels this way.
But let me tell you, Pani puri is one of the popular street food here in Bangladesh. And not only here but in this Sub Asian area. So maybe I'm not the only one who goes crazy about Pani Puri, right?
Let's see my experience.
This is how the street vendor pulls out his shop/food carts. There's nothing fancy, I would say, not so hygienic either. I guess, our stomach is spicy and pani puri proof. lol
A mix of a lot of spice to the puri (the fluffy thing) and the Pani (the spicy tangy watery sauce).
The chili you are seeing on the left is 10 times spicier than the regular one and we got this on our bowl! One bowl costs $.20; I think it's a good deal. You can have a mouthful, of spicy snacks at a low price, on the go.
This is what my bowl looks like. Yes, you are seeing a lot of chilies there. It was spicy, crispy, and tangy; my mouth was busting with all the different flavors. Loved it.
Moving on to my next food adventure.
I heard about this fruit mix several times but never had the chance to taste it.
They usually put our local sour fruits like hog plum, wood apple, and olive in a bowl and mix/mash them together with chili. The mix becomes a tangy, sweet, and sour flavor. It became very popular in the city.
I got one cup of sour mix and brought it back home. To be honest, it was a bit too sour for me, I added some more sugar and enjoyed it later.
It only costs $.30 and I think it's a good deal for those who love sour/tangy taste.
I have tasted both of the food on the university campus. This is what the place looks like.
The surroundings and the food adventure altogether made my day perfect.
Happy Friday, everyone.
Street foods are the best, and when you mix them with hot spices, then you can't go wrong!
You were lucky, that pani puri made my mouth water!
Great to hear that you liked it. Pani puri is one of the best street food you can try here. Do you like spices?
I love spices, I had lots of Indian friends growing up, so learnt to cook with spices😁
hehehe...nice to hear that :)
I love street food so I would like to try Pani Puri if I would go to Bangladesh but I'm not quite sure if I can handle the spiciness.
The look is similar to kwek kwek in the Philippines.
Don't worry. The sellers usually ask for low. medium and high so you can adjust the spice to your taste.
We had something similar to kwek kwek, we call it Gul Gulli. The pain puri is fluffy and stuffed with chickpeas and spices inside.
Thanks :) Have a good day.
The names of your dishes are really interesting 😅
So as the food :)
Spicy foods are one of my faves. I'm pretty sure these are all tasty.
The price is affordable and the looks are tempting.
Yummy!
Aren't they? I really enjoyed the cheap meal :)
Ah you make my mouth watery!! Also a nostalgic feeling is flattering me with the pictures from Hakim chattar and TSC!💙
Yes, pani puri is always tempting. And the place as well :)
