Re: Do you eat curry/salan?
I will naturally be more partial to Pakistan, but I don’t hate on Indians. The gol guppa probably originated in India. What I mean is that we stuff the shells so they are more fuller and thus fill you up too. To my knowledge and I don’t mind being corrected if I’m wrong, they are called gol guppay in Punjab and pani puri in karachi. I have had the ones from my hometown in Pak and I’ve also eaten the Indian version. We eat them with yogurt and imli ki chutney and another meehi red colored chutney which I think is a plum chutney…so it seems there are more ingredients involved in our version…or I guess what would be the Punjabi version. The way we make them at home is that we make a chana-chaat (chick peas, aloo, tomatoes, boondi dana,mchaat masala, etc) and stuff the shells with the chaat…and then put yogurt and chutneys atop the shells. They’re my favorite street food when I go to Pak and I might end up sick but I have to eat them.
