Pani Puri
This is perhaps the most common name that is prevalent over in many parts of India, including Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and also our neighbor Nepal. This crunchy snack has many versions, served with spicy water along with boondi, hot peas curry, onions, and chickpeas along with regular aloo masala and many more. The lip-smacking effect of each platter remains the same though.
Puchka
Bongs are all about Ps, let it be Pujo, PNPC, Phootball, or Puchka. Despite their everlasting love for sweets, they love to have their puchka spicy and tangy. Its neighbors such as Bihar, and Bangladesh also refer these as Puchka, with a slight variation of the pronunciation. Though these heavenly pleasure being loved in most parts of India, Bongs just love to claim it as their invention. But perhaps it is best not to poke them, they might actually win it legally, just like rosogolla.
Gol Gappa
This name seems quite justified as it focuses on its round shape and the fact that it complements gappe with friends. This name is common among Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, New Delhi, Punjab, and Pakistan. The overall taste is very similar to the other counterparts, but the addition of the mint leaves is often a common attribute in it.
Gup Chup
This seems like a rather discrete name of this all-time favorite snack of India. People of Odisha, Chattisgarh, Hyderabad, and Telangana named this snack so, as it pops in the mouth with a cracking sound. What really makes them different is the substitution of the potato filling with spicy chickpeas.
Pani Ke Batashe/Patashe/Tikki
These three are kind of cousin names which are often used interchangeably in regions of Madhya Pradesh and Haryana. Just like the range of names, the size and dough differ too. There are regular tikki, but you can also get like elongated, more crispy ones too, made with sooji. Which tastes better? Well, you have to try both to find out.
