Dahi Chutney wale Gol Gappe from Benarasi Street is popularly known as Meethe Golgappe too. They serve with both spicy and sweet pani. This is very similar to the Chaat Papdi, with the difference being that they serve gol gappas instead of papdis. They have both plain Benarasi Gol Gappe and Dahi Chutney where sweet curds are finally drizzled and served.
Pani Puri served in Banaras differs from other places in using the spiced boiled white or yellow peas unlike moong dal or potato stuffing.
So I made two stuffing for the pooris as my kids love pani puri and I thought they may not like the white peas masala. However, they loved both the combination and had total fun for two days consecutively having the pani puri for dinner.
People call Pani Puri by different names across India In North India they call it Gol Gappe, in West India, they are Pani Puri, in East India – Puchke, in central parts – Pani Batashe, Batashe, and Gupchup.
Some technical differences in each of these would be that Gol Gappe always has cold water in it, while Pani Puri has hot, Puchkas have no filling, just water. The common thing is the ultimate tangy taste that it leaves on your tongue.
