HOT Pink Street Food Puris in Nepal

HOT Pink Street Food Puris in Nepal

When I was walking around Durbar Square in Kathmandu, Nepal, I couldn't help notice the bright pink street food. More street food on my website here: So I kept seeing these hot pink deep fried discs, and being a curious eater, I had to just stop at a stall and sample them for myself. I didn't know at the time, but the vendor later told me that they were puris, or deep fried pieces of dough - similar to a deep fried tortilla. They have plenty of puris in India as well, but I had never seen them in any color like hot pink. They were not that tasty, they were mostly greasy, and would have been better along with some kind of curry. I'm not sure if they were meant to be eaten plain or if they were supposed to be eaten with another more flavorful dish. Luckily the vendor also had onion pakoras, or deep fried onion fritters. Though extremely greasy and salty, his onion pakoras were excellent in flavor and a wonderful Nepali street food salty snack

Yes Mark puris are supposed to be eaten with something else (vegetable dish) just like Chole Kulcha, Chole Batura. Without the other dish, puris would taste tasteless. The vendor who sold you puri should also be selling something which goes along with puri, I am supprised he didn't give you the vegetable dish along with puri.

idk just to think how newspapers are made, from the press to the stands, how many dirty hands have handled them or what inks are made of. just holding a newspaper with a sweaty palm transfers the ink to your hands what more a greasy food wrapped by it? i leave the rest to your imagination

it's mostly use as a offering to the God and we take it as a Prasad. Prasad (in Nepali) is a material substance of food that is a religious offering in Hinduism. It is normally consumed by worshippers after worship.

Maybe the food taste good but I think its disgusting how they make they don't use gloves or anything. They use it with their hands and look at his nails its like full of bacteria or germs I would never eat that.

These pink colored puris are used during worship of god/goddess. You should have tried one without food coloring agent. Also better when cooled off and have it milk tea: DLove to eat them for my breakfast.

hi MarkIts good to see you in Nepal. but looks like u went there when you start your career as foodie. if you could have put in a long video the way you do now days. would have been very better to watch.
reply

WoowMark Didn't anyone told you that the Pink Puri is just for warshiping to god and not for eating like that. It's heavly coloured and not good for human consumption. It should have tasted bitter.

I love the texture of the kettle & decay of building. Good job with a good camera & keeping the footage (as usual) at a low compression rate I feel like I'm there (As usual)
