That’s ant-ersting! A video of chefs giving an unusual makeover to India’s beloved desi street food, pani puri, has gone viral. The clip features chefs adding a creative twist to the Indian snack, an unconventional ingredient: red ants. The delicacy enjoyed in some parts of the country has caught the attention of the internet. Chef Varun Totlani, who posted the video, described it as a meeting of cultures, saying, “Thai curry meets Pani Puri.” He collaborated with fellow chefs to blend flavours and ingredients. “We brought the best of both worlds to this Pani Puri. The puri is from India, the stuffing is Thai heirloom tomatoes and fermented bean, and the pani is coconut milk with tons of aromatics. Topped with tangy fire ants from Chattisgarh. Perfect crossover between India and Thailand,” reads the caption. The video shows how the puris are filled with various items, topped with a few ants. Can Eating Insects Benefit Health?
