This Man ‘Invented’ The WHITE PAANI PURI! Tasting BANGARPET CHAAT At Ramesh Chit Chat In Bangarapet

Son of R. Panduranga Setty, who is said to have begun the Bangarpet Chaat tradition in 1974 in Bangarapet, named so (Bangar = gold, pete = town) for its importance as a town that connected the erstwhile Kolar gold fields to Bengaluru, 80 kilometres away, young Ramesh, wasn’t happy just continuing with the family legacy. A desire to create something new led to the invention of the ‘white paani’, a clear liquid that though as innocuous-looking as water, packs a potent, spicy punch. And thus began the tradition of the Bangarpet Paani Puri, that has spawned a few hundred namesakes in Karnataka. Ramesh however continues to operate out of his tiny shop in a bylane in Bangarapet, serving customers personally and experimenting constantly to add to his spicy, tangy repertoire. I spend an evening with him, tasting his wares, and return impressed with his childlike enthusiasm that doesn’t seem to have waned in the least despite being in the business for nearly four decades, his latest creation, a pizza inspired paani puri! Hope you enjoy this episode, take care and stay safe.
White Paani Puri
A simple assemblage of green peas, onions, carrots and coriander, stuffed in a semolina and flour puri, topped with the potent ‘white paani’. The spiciness of paani though is toned down by the creaminess of the peas and the crunch of the onions. A simple, clean flavoured paani puri that allows one to appreciate every component singularly, as well as in its completeness.
Rs. 25 (usd 0.3)
8.5/10
Special Dahi Puri
Embellished with rose petals, this chaat is a riot of flavours and textures. The crispiness of the chaat components and the spice of the masala play second fiddle to the creamy, sweet richness of the yoghurt that is fortified with Horlicks, milk powder and sugar.
Rs. 50 (usd 0.7)
10/10
Floating Paani Puri
The floating paani puri is a spicy affair, the spicy white paani goes into the puri and also floats the puri. The moist crispness of the puri is endearing as is the crunch of the spiced peanuts and the sev, despite the fresh crunch of the onion, cucumber and tomato, there is no getting away from the chilli heat of the sea of white paani.
Rs. 40 (usd 0.6)
9.5/10
Tikki Masala Bangarpet
A take on the Bengaluru masala puri, this is puri topped with spicy chutney, sweet chutney, peas, garam masala, squeeze of lime, onions, carrots, coriander, sev and puffed rice. It has all the components that you would expect to find in a chaat without being overdressed!
Rs. 30 (usd 0.4)
8.5/10
Special Sev Puri
The flat papdi base for this chaat is fried in ghee which gives it a rich, ‘biscuity’ bite embellished with the nuttiness of sesame seeds. You can taste the edge of garlic in the chutney that the fresh ingredients are tossed in.
Rs. 50 (usd 0.7)
9/10
Bhelpuri
A typical bhel but with the addition of the peas gravy that goes into every plat of chaat here, I found this rendered the puffed rice soggy and that didn’t quite work for me.
Rs. 25 (usd 0.3)
7/10
Pizza Paani Puri
I doff my hat to Ramesh on his latest attempt to innovate and bring a foreign flavour to the bylanes of Bangarapet. However, with regards to its taste and appeal, some may fancy it, yet others question its existence.
Rs. 100 (usd 1.4)

All major pani puri shops like prasssana, Saravana, Geeta mandir Vasava condiments, and the one near post office circle.... all owe their allegiance to Ramesh uncle.

[@AK-pr3ve]

After watching the video I stopped here just to experience white Pani. Ramesh sir deserves the world for giving away the recipe to his pupils which is now one of the most popular snacks across India. Just like most of us I only knew the Pani Puri originated from town Bangarpert but little did I know Ramesh sir was the creator. After eating here my opinion have changed on other Bangarpert chat places in South Bangalore. White Pani here taste so unique and brings a large difference on contrast to other Bangarpert chat places. I would suggest everyone to support him by visiting atleast once and making him famous because he deserves it.

It's high time you visit Kolar for an entire episode. Veg: For breakfast, you have Ponamma hotel, amongst the oldest of the town with customers spanning generations, famous for it's thuppa Khali dose (Their peanut chutney is the king here) For lunch, head to Guru mess for a sumptuous filling. You will discover the meaning of home cooked food. Panchavati (earlier known as vidyarthi bhavan) for mirchi bajjis served during the evening. Non veg: Annaporneshwari for it's naati style dishes (kaal saaru) which are robust. Ambi's mess, another old place, famous for it's liver fry (the sherwa they offer will clear your sinuses away) For sweets: You will be surprised to find kolar to be famed for Mysore pak Venkateshwara sweets is the popular one (Iyengar bakery, GULPET, however, is an underdog in Mysore Pak)
