Located in Kinari Bazaar of Chandni Chowk is the popular pani puri joint of Padamji or Panditji Padam Chaat Corner. Panditji, as he's fondly addressed by the regulars, will hand you a pattal (small bowl made of leaves) and take your taste buds on an absolute joyride. There is also a selection of chaat he calls Kitty Party on the menu. Unlike the routine six pieces of pani puri, Padam Chaat Corner has four pieces a plate, but dont let the number baffle you, for they are a delightful offering of pale green masala water, saunth, chutneys, soft-boiled potatoes and pickled guava.
