In the many odd experiments conducted with food around the world, what sent Twitter into a frenzy was the recent showcase of a ‘Mexican’ pani puri that Masterchef Australia Season 15 contestant Aditi Nevgi made on the show. During a mystery box challenge, Aditi decided to make a gourmet spin-off of the popular Indian street food using avocado, salmon roe and caviar – all of which are known to be continental flavours.

On the other hand, Aditi Nevgi was overwhelmed with the appreciation she received for her pani puri twist and shared some more odd but interesting combinations with her fans on Instagram. “Following the success of Mexican pani puri, I would like to try: Taiwanese Pani Puri (bubble tea inspired), Dessert Pani Puri (dunked in chocolate milk), and Dance Floor Pani Puri (a shot of vodka). The original one is perfect but let's galaxy brain this and see how far we can go,” she captioned her post. Which pani puri combo would you pick to try? Tell us in the comments below!
