Eitan Bernath, the 20-old social media food influencer, author, and television personality recently made food festival favorite pani poori and posted it to his social accounts, including Instagram. Traditional pani poori – popular in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal (per Taste Atlas) – starts with a flaky, hollow, deep-fried bread that's filled with spiced pani water (via Recipe Funnel) and such ingredients as tamarind chutney, chaat masala, boiled potatoes, chilis, and garbanzo beans.
Bernath's version of this popular street food includes non-traditional ingredients. He adds fresh cilantro to his well-spiced potatoes, and mint leaves, ginger, and brown sugar to his pani water. But the surprise that packs the most punch? Gorgeous, ruby-red pomegranate seeds. In addition to color and health benefits, these little gems add a layer of sweet-tart flavor to pani poori. Some of Bernath's followers were excited about the unexpected twist. Others were less so. Instagram follower anushehnoor commented, "It looks bomb! The pomegranate idea was genius." Thekrutikasampat, however, wrote "Pomegranate in Pani puri? Hell no." Put Bigdawgjosh__ in the pro-pom column: "The pomegranate probably gives it a sweet/savory taste and that must be bomb," they wrote. But not_manas_ disagreed: "Bruh there's no pomegranate in pani puri." And Itz_shibangi opined: "No not the pomegranate....... Dude don't ruin that godly dish." Us? We're reserving judgment until we try the recipe ourselves.
