Talk:Panipuri

Untitled
I put up an NPOV of the phrase "You have to put the entire puri into your mouth at one go and bite into it." I think that while this is the *traditional* way of eating pani puri it is not the only way. However, there was some disagreement, so I am looking for consensus before I change this to "Traditionally the entire puri is eaten in one bite." 192.11.225.118 06:50, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Messy third paragraph
The third paragraph under "Variants" contained long-winded instructions for preparing certain condiments; as they were not encyclopedic in style, nor laid out in recipes, but jammed into the text, I removed them while still referring to the condiments by name. As I'm not wholly familiar with Indian cooking I may have made a few errors. .ErrorReaper (talk) 18:42, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Recipe Video
This video shows the original recipe of phuckha as it is prepared in Bengal: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=16s2GMYbfH0 Shubhrajit Sadhukhan (talk) 10:58, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Where is this called Paani Puri?
I'm sure the answer seems obvious to some, but I think it would be helpful if someone with the knowledge could edit the list of places where variant names are used, to show also where (particularly in India) it's commonly known as Paani Puri (assuming that it is) Dybeck (talk) 03:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

You can literally find it anywhere in India Golgappa and it's much better than your pizza pasta hamburger or any type of these dishes and foods even a 100k-dollar pizza can't rival fuchka just saying it from my personal experience with it rn. 950CMR (talk) 18:20, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

You can easily make fuchka or Golgappa at home just see an article or video on youtube about it. 950CMR (talk) 18:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Mahabharata/Magadha Origin
Text removed from the article: According to a mythological legend connected to Mahabharata, Panipuri was introduced by Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas, when she was challenged by her mother-in-law Kunti to make a meal out of some leftover potato curry and a small amount of dough. Draupadi invented a new recipe which later won her praise and appreciation from Kunti who also blessed the dish with immortality.

 * I have removed/readded/removed the above text. The story originated as a joke answer of Quora question in 2013 and became a widespread mythological origin story of Panipuri as per this source and this. It was a fake story. So please do not add it.-Nizil (talk) 07:03, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Moved text: Phulki, which is considered as the precursor of Panipuri, originated in Magadha (now Bihar) in 600 BCE but the ingredients of it must have been very different because the potato and chili were brought to India in the 17th century.
 * I have doubts about this origin too. Phulki looks very different and I don't find any usual connection with Panipuri. I even doubt that Phulki was originated in 600 BCE. It is too early to find deep frying IMO. So I have removed this text for now. If better sources are found, it should be reinstated.-Nizil (talk) 07:43, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Include Sindh in the list of Panipuri states
Golgappa or better known as Panipuri in Sindhi is being eaten in Sindh for a long time. Why was Sindh omitted from the list and instead of it a language like Urdu was added. The Vandalist gave the stupid logic that only those who speak urdu eats panipuri but the Sindhis, which is a 5000-year-old civilization can't even have a local version of the Golgappa to which they call as Panipuri. Please update the list and add Sindh to the list and stop spreading disinformation to the masses. SaifSindhi (talk) 03:56, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for finally discussing this. You have been edit warring (and making baseless personal attacks) about a list of alternative names. It is not a list of places where this dish is eaten. If a region does not use an alternative name it doesn't go on that list - because there is nothing to list. MrOllie (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Confusion regarding Origin of the dish
In the History column, it is mentioned that according to many historians, the dish has origins in the Mughal era. While the next line says the dish has been in existence since 600 BCE. Both the statements are contradictory. Remove either one of them and provide credible source for the one not removed. 2405:201:4029:E8D4:7D45:197F:CB0D:D3A9 (talk) 12:18, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Reliable sources
I've removed unsourced material or material sourced by personal food blogs. Many "recipe" books contain speculative histories without serious academic merit. A reliable source, like a journal or textbook, is needed.

As noted, a story slipped in from a joke Quora post. DenverCoder9 (talk) 16:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Health impacts
This page is full of incorrect information. Panipuri given calorie is incorrect. It also has a lot of other ingredients in the form of gram, coriander, cumin, turmeric, green chilly and tamarind which has many health benefits. Seems those editing the page have some panipuri prejudice 171.61.238.229 (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * This is also not done for other foods, and is clearly biased. The sources cited don't actually support the main points made in the section. I will delete the section; hopefully mods will either support the deletion or add tags noting the dispute and move the section down lower in the article. Ironphoenix (talk) 14:25, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Name in Jharkhand
In Jharkhand it is called Golgappa. Not sure of Bihar but I doubt it's the same. 171.61.238.229 (talk) 18:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Italicize?
Should it be italicized per MOS:FOREIGNITALIC? https://onelook.com/?w=Panipuri&ls=a and https://onelook.com/?w=Pani+puri&ls=a seems to suggest it's not an adopted word in English yet. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Costco and Pani Puri as a "global food item"
"In 2024, Costco began stocking Pani Puri, elevating its status as a global food item."

The latter half of this sentence is an opinion derived from an unscientific source and should be removed. 213.95.147.7 (talk) 12:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
