Good evening guys!

Greetings from Pune, India!

Let's get after it man.

Let's do it.

Maharashtrian food.

Woo hoo!

(Traffic and honking sounds)

(Cracking sounds)

So what are we having?

So first of all we are at a place called Khau Galli.

Khau Galli literally translates into 'eat street'.

Eat street!

Yeah, Khao means eat and Gali means a small lane.

A small street.

I like the sound of that.

Yeah.

Haha.

And you have every kind of street food out here ranging from Pani Puri to Bhel Puri to

Dabeli.

Yep.

Some chicken probably on the way.

But yeah today we are having the Masal Puri out here.

The Masal Puri is more like.

The puri are small kind of tennis ball kind of thing.

Pingpong kind of size puri.

And it is filled with masala.

Masal is like it is a chickpea mix.

It has the spices on.

And then they add onion, tomatoes, sev.

Exciting moment my very first time to try Masala Puri.

These look fabulous.

And look at how colorful they are man.

This is crazy.

Mmmm.

Oh wow.

You get the crunch.

That is the first thing I'm noticing.

It is savory.

Not too spicy.

Lots of different ingredients like this is just really good.

Really nice way to start.

I mean we had so many spicy foods earlier on in the day.

So it is nice to have something a little bit more mild.

These are 30 rupees.

So like really affordable and you get 6 of them right?

Yeah, six of them.

Six balls.

That is really good man.

I like it.

Alright you guys are going in for some now.

Oh!

Oh perfect so just hand it to us.

Perfect.

There you go.

Dude I love Pani Puri.

Tried it for the first time a couple of nights ago in Mumbai.

It is basically this carved out little ball.

They have two different kinds of chutneys in there.

Look at all of the sauce.

Like if I sway it back and forth you can actually see it.

I mean you put it in your mouth it just explodes.

That is actually quite sweet and a tiny bit sour.

Urgh.

It is really good.

I could just like pop like 20 of these in a row.

Haha.

They are that good.

And what is the price of this?

Ah, this is 20 bucks (rupees) so 25 or 30 cents US.

30 cents.

This is the thing you have to try when you come to India.

I know.

Pani Puri.

Definitely it is like one of the ultimate Indian street foods.

It is the ultimate.
