Panipuri or golgappa is a deep-fried breaded hollow spherical shell, about 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter, filled with a combination of potatoes, raw onions, chickpeas and spices.

[7] Panipuri spread to the rest of India mainly due to the migration of people from one part of the country to another in the 20th century.

Also known as "golgappa," the dish consists of a small, hollow, fried wheat and/or semolina shell filled with spiced mashed potatoes and served with either a green or a brown-coloured dipping water; or both.

Over time, variations of the filling and the flavoured water emerged, reflecting the regional preferences and availability of ingredients.

[9] Bangarapet panipuri is renowned for its distinctive white-colored pani, retaining a spicy kick that has been traditionally handed down through generations.
