Ingredients
Panipuri consists of a round hollow Puri (food), puri (a deep-fried crisp flatbread), filled with a mixture of flavored water (known as ''imli pani''), tamarind chutney, chili powder, chaat masala, potato mash, onion, or chickpeas. ''Fuchka'' (or ''fuska'' or ''puska'') differs from panipuri in content and taste. It uses spiced mashed potatoes as the filling. It is tangy rather than sweetish while the water is sour and spicy.Names

Gol gappa originated In Indian subcontinent. He also noted that it possibly originated from Raj-Kachori: an accidentally-made smaller puri giving birth to pani puri.
