What it takes to burn this off
Estimated for a typical 70kg (154 lb) adult — actual calories burned vary by body weight, pace, and fitness level. General reference only, not personalized advice.
A plate of pani puri carries only a few grams of sugar, mostly from the sweet chutney and any jaggery stirred into the spiced water — choosing the plain tangy water over the sweet version keeps it near the low end. Most of its carbohydrate is the fried puris themselves.
