COVID-19: This contactless Pani Puri ATM in Gujarat is serving its hungry customers right

Golgappa or Pani Puri has so many lovers in India alone that many people have been craving for this street snack during the lockdown situation. With street food vendors in India missing these days, people are putting their culinary skills forward to prepare their own Pani Puri at home in a hygienic way.

However, if you happen to live in Banaskantha district of Gujarat, you can still have your Golgappa and eat it too without any hygiene worries. Ask how? Well, a person from Banaskantha has invented a contactless pani-puri vending machine for the sake of all those people who love this classic snack.

Now this is real Indian ingenuity!
