Hello Unregistered,

332 & 334 Tanjong Katong Road, Tel: 6345-0070, Open: 11am to 3pm, 6 to 10.30pm Weekends and public holidays: 11am to 10.30pm

If you like to play with your food, you can have fun with gol gappa ($6) at this funky North Indian vegetarian restaurant in Tanjong Katong Road.

It is traditionally called pani puri (pani is Hindi for water and puri means puff).

To enjoy one of these scrumptious puffed semolina savories, you have to pop the whole oblong-shaped deepfried ball, which is slightly smaller than a golf ball, into your mouth.

Before you do that, poke a hole on the side which has a thinner wall, then fill it up with the black chickpea and diced potato.

Pour into this small hole either or both of two types of water: the sweet and tangy tamarind water or the refreshing water blended with fresh coriander and mint leaves.

Quickly pop the light, fluffy snack into your mouth and savour the sweet and tangy flavours coming together.

You will find yourself reaching for more of this interesting appetiser.

Not surprisingly, it is one of the bestsellers in this two-year-old restaurant which specialises in the street food of Bombay.

While you wait for your food, sit back and enjoy the Bollywood musicals playing non-stop on the TV sets on the pillars strategically placed diagonally in the middle of this cosy eatery. Customers can watch the musicals anywhere they sit.
