Puchka

Kolkata's pani puri, and the city will tell you it is not the same thing: darker water, more tamarind, mashed potato with black salt, and the shell filled and handed over one at a time.

How it's eaten

Eat each one whole and immediately; the last is traditionally given free, with dry masala.
