Panipuri is one of the world's best bites. If you haven't had the pleasure, it's an Indian street snack comprised of puri (a small piece of puffed fried bread with a delicately crisp exterior) filled with peas and/or potatoes, fresh herbs (like cilantro or coriander leaves), and masala powder, then showered with tamarind water and more spices. When stuffed generously, its round shape just barely fits perfectly into your mouth, forcing you to devour it immediately. That first chomp is like smacking open a piñata; the shell shatters, and a rush of flavor washes over your taste buds. There's tartness, a kick of spice, some starchiness to balance it out. Sweet, sour, crackly. Your eyes open wide as you try to regain control over your senses.
