THE PANI PURI OBSESSION



I have a friend who LOOOOVES this wonderful creation called: PANI PURI and she loves to convert others to her dark side. This delightful treat can be found out on the Indian streets. I highly recommend you ask friends first for their trusted street food locations. My friend has yet to lead me astray.


Pani puri is made of little fried hallow balls that the vendor pokes holes into to fill with various things like; boiled potatoes, boiled chickpeas or white pea curry. Next a spicy tangy sauce or a sweet chutney is poured on top along with tasty crunchy bits. There are many variations of the pani puri and can be adapted by asking the vendor. The ones pictured below also had curd on top.

JOGGER PARK: LOHIYA GARDEN (HADAPSAR, PUNE)

NOTABLE FEATURES OF LOHIYA GARDEN CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA The play structure and area for children has some really fun features and is quite spacious compared to others I have seen. It has a large play structure where kids can climb, hang, and slide. There is a swing set, a slide in the shape of a Rocketship and a jungle gym in the shape of a ball all painted in bright colors.   VIBRANT ANIMAL MURAL To separate the park from its neighbors a tall wall that spans the entire length of the park was constructed and  a mural was painted on it. The mural was...
