Jaipur Stall Ditches Aloo in Dahi Puri for Apple, Dragon Fruit, Foodies Find it Hard to Digest

Food enthusiasts are keenly aware of how Panipuri has become a magnet for those eager to jump on the peculiar food culture trend that’s currently in full swing. And adding to the mix is a healthier rendition of Dahi Puri, foregoing the usual boiled potatoes for a fruit-infused twist! A Jaipur vendor has set the internet abuzz with his innovative take on Dahi Puri, substituting traditional veggies with a medley of fruits like apples, pineapple, and more.

Shared on Instagram by @jaipurhunger_stories, the video showcases the meticulous preparation of what has been dubbed ‘Fruit Golgappe’. The process unfolds as the puris are delicately arranged, followed by the dexterous slicing of fruits like apples, pineapple, and dragon fruit. These fruity delights are then generously stuffed into the puris, each one topped with a vibrant assortment of coloured Dahi—pink, yellow, and beyond.

Completing the ensemble are classic sweet-spicy chutney, pomegranate, and beetroot slices, adding a final flourish to this innovative dish.

Take a Look:

This refreshing take on Dahi Puri undoubtedly offers a healthier alternative at a price of Rs. 70. However, for many purists, the classic dish with its potato and spice filling remains the undisputed favourite, and they weren’t quite sold on this healthier adaptation.

“If there is any worst act than this, then do it,” quipped one user. “It makes me sick in the stomach…don’t ruin it,” came another. The third chimed in, “Tried it last night. Not good at all. I won’t recommend this. Golgappe is fine with potatoes and water. You will not be able to eat the other after eating 1 piece.”

Just recently, another intriguing twist on Panipuri emerged, originating from Gujarat, known as Rainbow Panipuris, with vibrant shades of violet, red, and yellow. What makes these colourful delights even more enticing is the claim that they are made from Indian blackberries, beetroot, and haldi, each contributing its distinct flavour profile. Surprisingly, this rendition didn’t receive the same thumbs-down reaction as others!
