Nagori is made using ghee and semolina. It’s a small, crumbly yet crispy poori. The process of making Nagori is quite similar to gol gappa, also known as pani puri.

This dish as a whole is definitely an experience. A totally unique blast of sweet and savoury flavours. Here’s the popular Nagori dish video.
A food vlogger shared this Instagram video of Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, showcasing a hidden gem that serves Nagori with a twist.
