Pani Puri

Vendors fill it right before your eyes because it can't survive sitting.
Hollow, crisp puris filled with spiced tamarind water, potato, and chickpeas, handed to you one at a time to eat immediately in a single bite.
Why it's made this way: The shell is too fragile to hold the filling for more than a minute, so the entire dish is built around immediate, one-bite eating rather than being packaged to go.
