Idea Behind Fire Pani Puri
Chaska Chaat Corner in Nagpur was started 3 years ago by Gaurav Jain. When the entrepreneur first opened his chaat stall, he was rebuked by people for his endeavour. But Gaurav did not admit defeat. He wanted to do something different for foodies across India. So he spent weeks researching and found a video on Youtube about Fire Paan. This made him wonder that if there can be Fire Paan, then why not Fire Pani Puri? He put his heart and soul into trying out recipes and finally invented India’s first Fire Pani Puri. He prepares it and sells it at his stall, Chaska Chaat Corner in Nagpur. And as expected, his culinary invention has taken India by storm. Videos on this unique Pani Puri have gone viral and people flock from all over to grab a bite of this novelty.
