Gupchup

Odisha's hollow semolina puri filled with mashed spiced potato and dunked in a tangy, spiced water of tamarind, roasted cumin, black salt, and green chilli — the Odia name for the street snack called pani puri in Mumbai or golgappa in Delhi. The Odia gupchup uses a thinner, crisper shell than the North Indian versions and a more tamarind-forward, less sweet water; eaten at every Odia city's street corner, temple precinct, and evening bazaar as the definitive afternoon snack.
