Crispy hollow puris filled with spiced potato-chickpea masala, sweet tamarind chutney and chilled spiced mint water.
Pani Puri — also called Golgappa or Puchka — is India's most loved street snack, and Balista's pure vegetarian version brings the full experience to Summerside. Each crispy hollow puri is cracked open at the table, stuffed with a tangy potato-chickpea masala, drizzled with sweet tamarind chutney, and dunked into chilled spiced mint-coriander water. Pop the whole puri into your mouth and let the bursts of flavour do their thing.
We make our pani fresh daily — never bottled — with mint, coriander, green chillies, cumin, and rock salt for the unmistakable South-Asian street-stall punch. 100% pure vegetarian, with optional no-onion-no-garlic preparation. Best enjoyed shared with friends and family at our Summerside dining room.
