It is not even a topic of debate that panipuri is one such street food that almost everyone loves. Understandably, the fusion dishes created by giving a twist to this classic food item don’t always succeed in winning the hearts of food lovers. Just like this chocolate panipuri dish. Served with ice cream and Oreo, it is an item people are finding hard to digest.
