Call it pani puri or puchka or golgappa, there is no denying this is a street food dish that most absolutely love to gobble. Probably that is the reason when there is a fusion version of this dish, people are reluctant to accept it and some of those dishes even leave panipuri lovers irked. This video showing a man preparing panipuri with Thums Up is one such example. Though in the video a woman tastes it and says that it’s good, netizens still have their doubts and aren’t convinced that the fusion dish is edible.
