you can literally eat fire?

Yes, literally.

In India, paan is a huge culinary darling

that's been around for centuries.

It's a snack usually eaten after a meal

to help with digestion.

It consists of a betel of leaf that's wrapped

around all kinds of different fillings,

like nuts, fennel, cardamom, fruits,

chocolate, or even meat.

You can find it anywhere.

But a small street food shack in New Delhi

is sparking a revolution.

- [Narrator] All right, then.

But back to the revolution he's sparking.

Recently, he had an idea that would reignite the classic

Indian snack his shack was famous for.

- [Narrator] I have a burning question for you:

Is it safe to eat?

- [Narrator] You're really bringing on the heat.

OK, that was a slow-burner.

I was just warming up.

OK, OK, we've already burned too much time.

(crickets chirping)

- [Narrator] So, there you have it.

India's hottest trend.
