Pani puri or Golgappa is a type of snack that originated in the Indian subcontinent and is one of the most common street foods in Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Though millions of Indians gorge on this street food, it is tagged as unhealthy food, while some say that it’s healthy, because of the moong and the boiled chickpeas. Nutritionists assert that one can have pani puri, once in a while to satisfy the cravings but to be on the safe side, it is best to make it at home. Make a weight-loss-friendly pani puri without the sweetened chutney, potato stuffing and the deep-fried puri.
