Supplemental context
Pani puri brings together a fragile crisp shell, a filling and flavored water, but its cultural significance also lies in the exchange between vendor and customer. India's official tourism account places golgappas, identified there as pani puri, within Delhi's lively street-food culture alongside other chaat and snack traditions. This is a useful local example rather than a claim that Delhi owns the whole food. For future readers, preserving the selection means attending to names, serving rhythms and everyday public sociability as well as ingredients. The imagined tabletop arrangement makes the components visible, while leaving room for different local fillings, seasonings and ways of serving the snack.
Creator/community: South Asian street-food vendors, snack makers and customers Place/era: India and wider South Asian food cultures; continuing regional practice
